Our new work goes from genes to behavior to understand the molecular underpinnings of the most common childhood disorder of vision: strabismus. Led by UCSF-bound Emily Gershowitz & Kyla Hamling, plus rockstars @denagoldblatt.bsky.social & @paigel.bsky.social www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

A graph of eye velocity versus time that establishes that fish with loss of function mutations in the phox2a gene can't move their eyes when tilted.

An image showing expression of a particular gene in the motor neurons that move the eyes. Black spots show where the gene is expressed, dotted lines outline the cranial motor nucleus nIV that contains motor neurons that move the eyes up

The top shows a schematic of a fish with motor neurons marked in green and a pipette used to suction motor neurons for later analysis. The bottom left shows white dots that mark each motor neuron; the bottom right shows no white dots to indicate the motor neurons had been selectively removed for later analysis.

Who wore it better? Our new paper shows that rat OFC supports Bayesian inference of hidden states! With neural correlates of inferred state transitions at the level of single neurons and population-level latent factors. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

After 14 innings the ballpark organist should switch to only playing in a minor key #worldseries

Giving infectious disease research a break, as promised by the MAHA agenda. Let's break down what exactly this Executive Order is *really* saying. Fortunately, I speak fluent anti-vax grifterese & can translate. www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

Gene editing technology began by people studying salt marshes. Ozempic began by folks studying the venom of Gila Monsters. Support for basic science has empowered us to understand our world. Tethering it to applications health has transformed and saved countless lives.

So excited to share our first paper from my PhD! Chasing this question was so rewarding; I hope that comes across in the writing. Thank you @denagoldblatt.bsky.social, @cbellegarda.bsky.social, Cheryl, and Başak for being wonderful teammates and @schoppik.bsky.social for the excellent bluetorial 🤓

Beautifully written work led by an incredible former undergrad in my PhD lab! Check it out if you're curious about how sensorimotor circuits assemble 💫

Happy to share my 2nd PhD paper! We use CRISPR, calcium imaging & sequencing approaches to (1) overturn a decades-old model for how a balance circuit develops and (2) redefine the role of motor neurons in circuit assembly. 1/n
