In a mouse model with decreased propagation bias (brought to us by @keisukeyonehara.bsky.social), nasal and temporal quadrants were equally activated by waves, and were morphologically more symmetric! This suggests that SACs dendrites respond to biases in propagation with asymmetric growth. (9/11)

Excited to share our new work on visual information processing in the retinocollicular pathway. We discovered that while luminance responses can predict motion responses in retinal ganglion cells, this prediction does not hold in the superior colliculus cells. www.cell.com/current-biol...

Decoupling of visual feature selectivity in the retinocollicular pathway
Schwartz and Matsumoto et al. show that visual feature selectivity for luminance and motion is coupled in the retina but becomes decoupled in the superior colliculus. This transformation reorganizes t...

We are happy to announce the recruitment of our new group leader, @fionamuellner.bsky.social. Coming from the Institute of Molecular and Clinical Ophthalmology Basel, Fiona will investigate how neural circuits at the brain’s first central processing stage—the thalamus—shape the way we see. Welcome!

GABA imaging classifies amacrine cell types in mouse retina! Aki and @keisukeyonehara.bsky.social are amazing! future goals include Gly imaging, 2-color Glu/GABA, more complete scRNA-seq/MERFISH mapped onto functional classes. Super-fun collaboration! @janeliagenie.bsky.social

Our two-photon GABA imaging from mouse retina has been published! Akihiro Matsumoto in my lab spearheaded this project. I want to thank @loogerl.bsky.social for molecular clustering and @janeliagenie.bsky.social for the fantastic iGABASnFR2 sensor! www.nature.com/articles/s41...

New lab photo at NIG! Now we have 20 members, including 7 PhD students. We are focused on either 1)retina, 2)central areas/behavior, or 3) gene therapy.

I closed my lab at DANDRITE, Aarhus University, Denmark. It's been a fantastic 10 years. Now, I am 100% located at the National Institute of Genetics, Japan. The photo is from our last lab dinner yesterday.

Motion detection: Specific thalamocortical connections revealed
Inferring the direction of image motion is an important component of visual processing. A study with in vivo dual electrophysiological recording now reveals that the sensitivity of visual cortical neurons to the direction of motion is established by specific neural connections from the visual thalamus.
