Thrilled to share that our work is now published in Science! ✨ We found a preference for visual objects in the mouse spatial navigation system where they dynamically refine head-direction coding. In short, objects boost our inner compass! 🧭 www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... 🧵1/

New from the Bocchi Lab in Nature Communications: Cortical astrocytes arise from two distinct progenitor lineages with specialized roles. Glad my lab could support the lineage tracing part using TrackerSeq. Congratulations to @bocchiric.bsky.social and the whole team! www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Dual lineage origins contribute to neocortical astrocyte diversity - Nature Communications

Astrocytes display diverse molecular and functional features in the brain, but the developmental origins of this heterogeneity are not well understood. Here, the authors show that two separate progeni...
