Our preprint presenting the single-nucleus RNA-seq atlas of the shark retina is finally out in bioRxiv. I hope you'll find it useful! #retina #sharks #evolution NEURODEVO Big thanks again to all the great collaborators listed in the thread bellow!

How does computation in the brain evolve? In a new review I argue that studying retinal circuits across species may just hold some key answers: shorturl.at/wFMT9

A position si open in our lab. Submit your application if you are interested in mechanical forces in Development.

Deadline extended! If you missed the recent deadline for abstract submission, please note abstracts will be accepted for talks and posters at #ISDN2024 until 24 May 2024 while we commence the review process. Speakers and symposia listed at: bit.ly/ISDN2024

New paper alert 🥳 a fabulous collaboration with the equally fabulous Marcus Keatinge (and his first senior author paper showing that deficiency in the ALS/FTD gene C9ORF72 causes neurodegeneration in the #zebrafish retina jneurosci.org/content/early/…

AVIAN ALERT! Thanks to a privileged collaboration with Kaessmann Lab & Bassi Zaremba here is the long-awaited chicken🐣 pallium atlas! Cell types in adults & development, spatial-omics and a full comparison with other species. MANY glutamatergic surprises! shorturl.at/bhoC0

NEW AVIAN BRAIN ALERT! Check our research on the development of the pallium in birds🐣 and reptiles🦎. Comparative neurogenesis, scRNAseq and spatial-omics showing that the pallium of amniotes develops in different ways, but converge into similar circuits! shorturl.at/bvFJL

Delighted to see the completed Special Issue of Current Opinion in Genetics and Development on "Timing and Tempo in Development" It was a pleasure putting this together with Miki Ebisuya Thanks to all the authors that contributed articles sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Catshark retina people enthusiastically apply for outreach and give-aways! 👁️‍🗨️🦈

Hi neuro friends! I have an incredibly talented RA looking for a post bacc position in the US/EUR beginning this Fall. Varya has 2 yrs experience- surgery, IHC, behavior, microscopy, histology, etc. Any leads appreciated! 🤓 #NeuroTwitter

Congrats, Brian! Great news!! 😃

Just when you think things can't get any better and the cryostat starts beeping and thawing… here come some gorgeous parasagittal histological sections of the #catshark #brain ! 🧠🔬 NEURODEVO Università degli Studi di Cagliari Riccardo non se podé pitar le cryostàto!! Laura Glez Llera 🏃🏻‍♀️💨 🤌🏼🤌🏼🤌🏼

Excited to announce that our 2025 Advanced Research Training Course schedule is up and applications are open! 🎉🎉🎉 See you in Woods Hole! mbl.edu/courses

Is evolution predictable or highly contingent? This new Royal Society Publishing paper explains why life here & elsewhere might be universal regarding its logic, from molecular information & cells to viruses &ecosystems. Santa Fe Institute @philipcball Sean Carroll royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rs…

Our paper on glia-to-neuron conversion is out in Science Advances. We generated neurons with the capacity of true high-frequency action potential firing and expressing parvalbumin from early cortical astrocytes in vivo💥👇🏻🧵 science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…
