I am excited to announce the latest paper from our lab, published in Science ! In this study, we show that thalamocortical-like circuits in the zebrafish brain process sensory information hierarchically across topographically organized forebrain circuits.

🤔 Is motile #cilia dysfunction a cause of #hydrocephalus ? The answer depends on who you ask and which species you study. 🤔😕🧐 In mice, motile cilia dysfunction almost always leads to hydrocephalus. In humans, however, the link is far less clear. So why the difference?
