www.nature.com/articles/s41... POTATOMap is officially out today! (Even tho it says 2024Dec30… yeah long story😂) Thank you to all the authors and everyone involved! I hope we have provided something useful and maybe leave a little (just a little) impact in your research.

Great to see our work published! I'm glad I was able to contribute during my time in Montréal. Excitatory synapses onto Basket cells show anti-Hebbian plasticity following supralinear calcium signalling.

I am delighted to highlight our recent publication in The Innovation — @theinnovation.bsky.social — titled “Principles of visual cortex excitatory microcircuit organization”, where we showcase optomapping, ie 2p optogenetic circuit mapping! www.cell.com/the-innovati...

Thrilled to see this paper out!! 🧪 Spatial transcriptomics of brain aging and 'spatial aging clocks' identify cells that have pro-aging or pro-rejuvenating effects on their neighbors! Huge CONGRATS to Eric Sun and all authors! Fantastic collaboration with @jameszou.bsky.social! rdcu.be/d33uQ 🧵

"E11 Bio is excited to share a major step towards brain mapping at 100x lower cost, making whole-brain connectomics at human & mouse scale feasible (🧠→🔬→💻). Critical for curing brain disorders, building human-like AI systems, and even simulating human brains." -CEO Andrew Payne e11.bio/news/roadmap

Hey there! Just moved away from the former bird app. And I'm excited to announce that I recently started a postdoc at Radboud University with Anne-Sophie Hafner! We will use proteomics and spatial transcriptomics to investigate episodic memory during development
