If you are interested in electron microscopy, registration is still open for the "Electron Microscopy Hands-On Course: sample preparation and imaging of marine environmental samples" at Stazione Zoologica in Naples. WIth great teachers from Naples […] [Original post on biologists.social]
Poster of the EM course in Naples with marine samples. The Electron Microscopy Hands-On Course: sample preparation and imaging of marine environmental samples arises from a very strong and active collaboration between the Stazione Zoologica Anton Dohrn and the EMBL in Heidelberg.
The aim of the course is to provide a theoretical and practical training on electron microscopy starting from the basics to the preparation of samples with high pressure freezing and image acquisition using TEM and SEM.

Our dispatch: www.sciencedirect.com/science/artic… on the recent Hydra volume EM paper by Zhang, Rafa Yuste and colleagues: #connectomics, without synapses www.sciencedirect.com/science/artic… #neuroscience
Two nerve nets are formed in Hydra vulgaris: the endodermal (cyan) and the ectodermal (purple) net. (B) Intraepithelial neurons are randomly scattered between the epithelial cells of the two germ layers. (C) Two types of connections have been found between Hydra’s neurons. (D) Endodermal neurons are in physical touch with each other by forming neural handshakes by digiform endings, which get intertwined. (E) In other places, clusters of vesicles of different types can be released to mediate volume transmission between neurons and between neurons and other cells.

Excited to share that my latest paper is out in Open Biology! It explores how late larval development allocates resources depending on the food source. royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/full/10....

Effects of food availability on larval development during ontogenetic niche shift in a marine annelid | Open Biology
Many marine invertebrates have a biphasic life cycle with a free-swimming larva and a bottom-dwelling adult. The transition from a planktonic to a benthic lifestyle is a significant step in the animal’s life history, highly regulated and influenced by ...

With a related Insight piece written by Alex Winsor and Paul Katz "Connectomes: The wiring diagram of an entire animal" elifesciences.org/articles/108573 @eLife
A phylogenetic tree for bilaterally symmetric animals.

Whole-body connectomes have been constructed for just three species (indicated by stars): the annelid P. dumerilii, the nematode C elegans, and the tunicate C. intestinalis. A whole-brain connectome has also been assembled for the insect D. melanogaster. Between them, these species span three major clades: Spiralia, Ecdysozoa and Deuterostomes. Only partial connectomes are available for molluscs and vertebrates.
