🐟 Discouraged zebrafish are helping scientists understand how ketamine works in the brain. 🧠 🥼 New research from Misha Ahrens, Marc Duque Ramírez, Alex Chen, Eric Hsu, Dwight Bergles, Mark Fishman & Florian Engert. 🔗 janelia.org/news/discourag…

Took a bit, but this work with Marc Duque Ramírez on how ketamine affects brainwide neuronal and astroglial dynamics, as well as passivity behavior, in larval zebrafish is now out Neuron! cell.com/neuron/fulltex…

Our comment ”Japan must rethink its priorities in research funding” was out from Nature. The comments were issued with the endorsement of more than 100 researchers in Japan. We sincerely hope this statement reaches the Japanese government. nature.com/articles/d4158…

Happy International Day of Women and Girls in Science👩‍🔬 It was my pleasure to speak about the activities of the Diversity Promotion Committee of the Japan Neuroscience Society 日本神経科学学会

I'm really excited to introduce our new paper Catherine Dulac on the neurobiological original of "sociality" (the need of being together), recently published in Nature (see detailed digest below). nature.com/articles/s4158…

Can we predict future brain activity in a small vertebrate?🤔 We're releasing ZAPBench⚡️(#ICLR2025 spotlight): a benchmark to forecast activity in a whole vertebrate brain🧠 at single-cell resolution!🐟 70k+ neurons, 3 TB of data & extensive baselines. Connectome is coming! 🧵👇

ハーバード大学が75年に渡って研究した「人の幸せとは何か？」という問いの答えは、「年収、学歴、職業」ではなく、同じ志をもつコミュニティで頼り頼られるなどの「良い人間関係」だったそうです。 なるほどーです。

Check out Alex Chen's thesis work, along with the other astrocyte papers in this Science Magazine issue! From flies to fish to mice - air, water and earth, the science is fire 🔥🧯

Preprint Alert! How does the brain distinguish different types of optic flow? We combined CaMPARI2 labeling with single-cell RNA-seq (CaMPARI-seq) to dissect visual circuits in zebrafish. Read the full study here 👉 biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh…

We are proud to have Max Capelle's paper out on bioRxiv! He found that phototactic behavior in #zebrafish switches during #ontogeny🐟🔆Through elegant behavioral dissections, he identifies the navigational strategies related to this transition. biorxiv.org/content/10.110… Thread 👇

🧠第48回日本神経科学大会（JNS）にて、シンポジウム 3S03m “Collective and Temporal Integration in Diverse Animal Behaviors”を開催いたします。 📅 7月26日（土） 🕗 午前9時〜 📍Room 3 Speaker：Nao Uchida、Niels C. Rattenborg、Camille Testard、Shoi Shi、Yasuko Isoe

Our new paper is published in Current Biology! In this project, we developed a model showing how social and depth information are integrated to drive affiliative behavior in zebrafish. See: sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

🎉 We are excited to announce the 'Consortium for the Equations of Life and Living-Systems' (CELL), an open collective dedicated to building the rigorous mathematical core that biology needs. The principles are based on #OpenScience. We will publish the blueprint soon. Please
