Thank you, Baier Lab MPI for Biological Intelligence Fabian Svara , for the workshop and joint lab retreat. We learned a lot and are looking forward to pushing the frontiers together. And thanks for the beautiful poster design.

How do zebrafish map their environment? A new Nature paper by RoLi Lab found first evidence for place cells in fish. These specialized neurons play a crucial role in forming mental maps of space, social networks, and abstract relationships. 👉kyb.tuebingen.mpg.de/place-cells

Take a look at our Spatial Transcriptomics and single-cell Multiomics papers. We visualize more than 20,000 genes and 200,000 accessible chromatin regions in whole embryos. x.com/biorxiv_devbio… x.com/biorxiv_devbio….

Every time I get a new tool

some of my personal suggestions on how to give a good research talk

The Hebrew University of Jerusalem bows its head in mourning for Carmel Gat, a Master’s student at the School of Occupational Therapy, who was murdered while in the captivity of Hamas. The bodies of Carmel and five others were tragically recovered by the IDF from a Hamas terror

Out now in Current Biology, our new paper identifies an olfactory receptor that mediates male attraction to females, but enforces avoidance of parental care. A thread that leads to an unexpected twist in regulation of social behavior! cell.com/current-biolog…

Pathetic.

Johannes Kappel and I are happy to share our preprint! We discovered that visual responses and morphology are co-determined by both the neuron's transcriptional profile and positional cues. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

The LMB welcomes Joergen Kornfeld (Jörgen Kornfeld) as a new Group Leader in our Neurobiology Division where he will investigate the connectomics of learned behaviour in vertebrates. Read more about Joergen’s research and career so far here: www2.mrc-lmb.cam.ac.uk/the-lmb-welcom… #LMBNews

Excited to post a new preprint, work by Takashi Kawashima, Ziqiang Wei 魏 子强 and collaborators: Voltage imaging reveals circuit computations in the raphe underlying serotonin-mediated motor vigor learning biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

And, at the same time with the one below, our group is excited to share another manuscript on the global and compartmentalized neuromodulation by the serotonin system in collaboration with Baier Lab MPI for Biological Intelligence biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
