"A thin and long-overlooked layer at the base of the cerebral cortex helps organise the brain’s electrical rhythms across waking and sleep, according to new research from the Molnár and Vyazovskiy Laboratories from DPAG, University of Oxford published in eLife."

Different lab, different continent, different species — same curiosity 🇯🇵 The extensive PDH-ir arborization pattern of a male Sieboldius albardae dragonfly 🐉🪰. The projections are color coded from anterior (blue) to posterior (yellow). Drosophila brain for scale. #FluorescenceFriday Detail images 👇
This fluorescence microscopy image shows the PDH-ir neuronal network in the male dragonfly Sieboldius albardae. The image reveals an impressive, dense arborization pattern in the lamina, medulla, lobula complex, and protocerebrum. The projections are depth-coded from anterior (blue) to posterior (yellow). A Drosophila brain is shown for scale. Sieboldius albardae has about 100 times larger brain than Drosophila.
