First attempt at 3D re-constructing the #Horizontalcell from my transduced #chick #retina. Cells can be very dramatic. All you need is a GIF and some Pavarotti notes 🎵 Sample by @neurofishh.bsky.social Great time for some #FluorescenceFriday.

Seeking input: A standardized nomenclature for the rods and cones of the vertebrate retina A number of us have been working on a proposal to bring various disconnected naming systems for the vertebrate rods and cones across species into alignment. The basic proposal looks like this:

Pretty cool what you can do with free tools these days. Live tracking of a frog doing prey capture, using to bonsai-rx.org and sleap.ai

Vertebrate evolution nerds, help please: I seem to recall that I read something recently suggesting that hagfish might need to be moved about the base of the vertebrate tree of life (away from the lampreys??) but I can't find anything now. All recent work seem to confirm the "original" position

For today's #fluorescenceFriday, a transgenic Danionella cerebrum, the world's (second) smallest vertebrate (yep, "stout infantfish" are smaller, but no one has made them glow yet!). Picci by our very own @xinwei-wang.bsky.social

I recently went to a talk by Tom Baden (@neurofishh.bsky.social). One of the best I've ever seen. It's a radical reinterpretation of what color vision was initially for. And during questions it covered the roles of the green cone and the UV cones (yep, plural) in mouse vision. youtu.be/gzfiUZ2_5pc
