Do fish sleep? Yes! (they also yawn) - Our work on the genetics of widespread temporal niche partitioning in cichlids: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Grateful to McKnight Foundation @PewTrusts and the supportive, stimulating environment at Scripps Research. Huge thanks to my wonderful and endlessly creative lab members — you make coming to work a daily joy and privilege. Did I say this enough:🌟 We’re actively hiring! 🌟

I'm excited to announce that starting October 2024, I'll be opening a lab at the Technion Faculty of Biology! Biology Technion We will study the role of unique cell types in visual behaviors in zebrafish, using genetic tools, imaging, and behavioral approaches.

I am so excited to making progress in understanding Down syndrome using zebrafish. We are also incredibly grateful to NICHD News and the INCLUDE project for the support.

Our paper on the neurodevelopment of collective behavior in schooling Danionella is now published in Current Biology doi.org/10.1016/j.cub.…

Looking forward to this exciting conference! Join us and come to our symposium co-organized with @InesMARibeiro Johannes Larsch on visual processing in social behaviours across species.

@JohannesKappel 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…

Excited to share a new preprint form the lab: biorxiv.org/content/10.110… yoav rubinstein #Neuroscience #zebrafish

🚨Big news! Five years in the making, our Zebrahub paper is now published in #Cell 🎉. We’ve built a timecourse atlas of zebrafish embryonic development, combining #scRNAseq data and #lightsheet live imaging, and delved deep into the dynamics of key progenitors.

Just out! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…. Shivali Dongre used quantitative imaging to study how gene-specific TFs cluster in the nucleus. In line with existing models, she found that both the DNA-binding domain and an intrinsically disordered region are required for clusters to form.

🎉Congrats to Baier Lab MPI for Biological Intelligence 🇮🇱 and collaborators on securing a €10M ERC Synergy Grant! Together, they will explore how zebrafish internally represent their environment, potentially reshaping our understanding of intelligence. Find out more: bi.mpg.de/news/2024-11-b… FMI science

Job alert! The Baier lab in Martinsried near Munich, Germany (bi.mpg.de/baier) is hiring a postdoc for a project that combines functional imaging with molecular profiling of place cells in zebrafish, EM connectomics, and behavior.

I'm thrilled to share this story! Flies tend to aggregate, as I’m sure you have experienced in your kitchen. They lay eggs around the same places and form clusters even in the absence of food. But, what happens when they meet other flies for the first time? ...
