Last Friday there was a conference to consider Horace Barlow's work and its ongoing impact. Of all of his papers, most speakers focussed on two (below). Strikingly, these two papers contain no models or experimental data,

This amazing preprint from Johann Bollmann lab is about the exciting discovery of a corollary discharge signal in the optic tectum of zebrafish that suppresses visual processing during self-motion! These are incredibly difficult experiments, and I was happy to be a part of it!

Happy New Year everyone! ICYMI, my review of the year in neuroscience makes for perfect slumped-on-sofa brain food link.medium.com/pIAaQEr57vb

Postdoc opening - develop new staining methods to push X-ray connectomics - great collaboration with Alexandra Pacureanu European Synchrotron and Carles Bosch and Jeannine Hess The Francis Crick Institute and Adrian A. Wanner PSI Paul Scherrer Institut - please RT for chemists, neuroscientists ...

Living Systems Institute is an amazing place to be a part of. Please spread the word!

We know there are differences between the left and right sides of the brain, known as brain asymmetry. But it’s not yet clear how or why this comes about. Stephen Wilson and ibianco from UCL aim to find answers, with support from our Discovery Research Awards ⤵️

Our preprint 'Sleep pressure modulates single-neuron synapse dynamics in zebrafish' just dropped on bioRxiv - A concerted effort from The Rihel lab Declan G Lyons Liz Broom 🐟💤 🧵👇🏻

🚨 Job alert 🚨 Research technician position! Come and join the Wilson Lab and Karin Tuschl lab at UCL zebrafishucl.org to study zebrafish models of neurometabolic diseases. ucl.ac.uk/work-at-ucl/se… Closing date 18 Oct.

I am very pleased to share the first preprint from my PhD. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

The Rihel lab is recruiting! If you are interested in coming to central London to study the interplay between brain asymmetry, sleep, and autism genetics in the zebrafish, apply here: ucl.ac.uk/work-at-ucl/se…

Happy our paper on corollary discharge in the #zebrafish visual system is out! Locomotion modulates visual processing via synchronous synaptic inhibition. Great work Ahsan, Katharina, Steffy and Chintan! Katharina Lischka Chintan Trivedi Faculty of Biology - University of Freiburg Nature Communications rdcu.be/drPzm

Check out our solution for imaging the 25% of neurons normally obscured by the eyes. Simple to deploy on existing rigs - just add a mirrored micro-prism!

After nearly 7 years, my PhD work is out in nature! Big big thank you to everyone involve within the The Rihel lab and the 🐟 floor UCL Research Dept of Cell & Developmental Biology nature.com/articles/s4158…

A thing we did finally came out nature! 100% the result of the extraordinary vision and hard work of PhD student Anya Suppermpool, who slogged through years of thankless technique building before making some important sleep discoveries. nature.com/articles/s4158…

science.org/doi/10.1126/sc… Really happy for this great story to be published - new insights both into the development of brain asymmetry and into the Wnt signalling pathway. Thanks and congrats to all authors of a very collaborative study!

New insights into Wnt signalling and the development of brain asymmetry from collaborative project UCL Biosciences, The Francis Crick Institute, Nuffield Department of Medicine and Wellcome Sanger Institute.  ucl.ac.uk/biosciences/ne… Stephen Wilson

What an incredible week for the UCL fish floor! Anya Suppermpool The Rihel lab rocking it in Nature and Gareth Powell Dr. Ana Faro PhD (She/Her/Dr) Stephen Wilson rocking it in Science! I bask in their glory and very thankful to be part of an amazing group of zebrafish researchers at UCL!

My work charactising the saccadic repertoire of larval zebrafish with ibianco is now at Current Biology: cell.com/current-biolog…
