Sickness is a whole-brain state. EMBL scientists recently found that more evolved sections of the brain, not just primal ones, activate to alert us when we fall sick. Full article 👉https://www.embl.org/news/science-technology/sickness-is-a-whole-brain-state/

TIL about the mobile optical coherence microscopy (OCM) platform from @prevedel-lab.bsky.social et al., to image aquatic organisms wherever you find them!🌍🔬 🔗 to preprint: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6... Find more gems like this in @focalplane.bsky.social's preprint list (quoted post below) ⬇️ 🧪

Cross-phyla overview of aquatic invertebrates imaged by mobile OCM.
(a) Schematic phylogenetic overview of the aquatic invertebrate phyla represented in this study (Cnidaria, Annelida, Arthropoda, Echinodermata, Porifera) alongside the vertebrate model Danio rerio, with representative line drawings illustrating body plans. (b) Representative maximum-intensity projection OCM images of each organism. (i) Nematostella vectensis (Cnidaria), showing the elongated body column and internal gastrovascular cavity. (ii) Platynereis dumerilii (Annelida), showing an anterior view of the dissected head of a premature worm. (iii) Sea urchin tube feet (Echinodermata). (iv) Freshwater sponge (Spongilla lacustris, Porifera), showing the aquiferous internal canal system and a prominent gemmule (asexual reproductive cyst). (v) Zebrafish larva (Danio rerio), showing the curved body axis, notochord, and head structures including the eye. (vi) Copepod (Arthropoda), resolving the cephalothorax, articulated appendages, and fine surface structures. Scale bars: 100µm, 10µm for (iii).

This is so cool - you are not looking reflection or emission of light here on the right - you are looking at a mechanical property of cells, in this case stiffness, using a custom created microscope. Excellent work @embl.org's @prevedel-lab.bsky.social and collaborators
