The latest story from the #QuattrocoloLab fulfills a long time dream. Are #CajalRetzius cells important for the maturation of spatial navigation? It turns out that superficial pyramidal cells in CA1 care much more about CR cells postnatal presence that deep pyramidal cells.

Please check out and RT this new position for an exciting collaborative project with @boninlab.bsky.social and @franckp.bsky.social on the links between human-specific mechanisms and neurodevelopmental disorders in cortical circuits.

#QuattrocoloLab preprint out 👇! We explored changes in the proteome of hippocampal and dentate gyrus growth cones at early postnatal stages. We see that at P1 growth cones from the two subregions are very similar, but start to diverge from P3, with HP growth cones maturing earlier then DG ones.

I really had the best time visiting Vilnius University for the Summer School on Neurodevelopment! Wonderful campus, lovely city and great interactions!

And we are saying goodbye to the first postdoc of the #QuattrocoloLab. It will be sad not to have Keagan around anymore, but he is off to another great adventure! It has been a pleasure working with him and I will surely miss our gene network related discussions a lot!

The #QuattrocoloLab has 5 posters at the #FRM2025. We have interneurons, growth cones and Cajal-Retzius cells, going from proteomics to behavior. Stop by in the Development session Tuesday afternoon!

A small delegation of the #QuattrocoloLab is @corticodevelopment.bsky.social. We did a lab visit of Taormina this morning and now we are getting ready for the science. We are presenting 4 different projects here, from hippocampal growth cones to MEC development to (obviously!!) Cajal-Retzius cells!

I am looking for a postdoc with an immunology background interested in joining a Yale neuroscience lab to study how the brain controls immunity. At Yale, we have a wonderful interdisciplinary & collaborative #neuroimmune community. Please reach out or share with anyone who might be interested!

So happy to share the second manuscript of the #QuattrocoloLab. This was a side project of a fantastic PhD student, Kristian Moan, that saw something cool in his data and presented it in our annual lab retreat in 2024. Now the whole story sees the light of day. 1/3

The second annual retreat of the #QuattrocoloLab is over. As usual, I was blown away by the presentations and I have so much to think about now!! So many new ideas to test! Thanks to everybody for making it so special.

I agree with everything! I try to cultivate and promote this in the #QuattrocoloLab. And perhaps this is also why I love to study development: it has rooms for all these subfields. But sometimes it is also harder when you don’t perfectly fit in any category.

First post on BlueSky! Biogeography of cortical #fast-spiking GABAergic neurons. We found that most fast-spiking neurons in association cortex do not express PV. Our findings challenge computational models of cortical networks based on PV counting. #neuroscience www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
