Are you interested in what #astrocytes do in the context of synapses and white matter of the 🧠? We wrote a review for that! You can read the open access version here: nyaspubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/ny…

Huge congratulations to Dr. Simon! We are all really looking forward to having Rhiana join us for her postdoc - and to her upcoming (and fantastic!) paper as well...

Here is the latest from the lab! Our first preprint since we moved to UCSF, but it has been in the works for some time - we first noticed this exciting phenotype (see Figure 1) almost seven years ago, and have been intrigued and fascinated by the septum ever since...

Another preprint from the lab! We dive deeper into the septum, exploring its astrocyte diversity. The fantastic Yajun Xie led this impressive project to answer a BIG question: is it nature or nurture for astrocyte specification? Take a look to find out! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Thank you all!AND We are still collecting feedback!🤗

Please check our newest study on bioRxiv - a tour de force led by the phenomenal Chris Reid, describing the diversity of neurons in the lateral septum in terms of transcriptomics, anatomical distribution, connectivity and electrophysiology: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

I'm so excited to share my first preprint from Pollen lab at UC San Francisco on the phylogenetic and spatial distribution of TAC3 interneurons. This story was an adventure filled with twists and turns we never saw coming. Check out the preprint and a summary below! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
