One of our PhD students, Luigi Petrucco, recently presented our work on identifying a heading direction network in the larval zebrafish at COSYNE 2022. Look out for the manuscript coming […]
The Lab celebrates spring & loosening regulations!
After a very long time, the whole lab is back to in-person meetings! The first one was celebrated by enjoying some amazing pizza, refreshments, and early-spring weather. While enjoying these […]
Oligodendrocyte precursor cells sculpt the visual system by regulating axonal remodeling
A collaboration from the lab is out! Did you ever wonder what all the oligodendrocyte precursors in the brain are up to when they don’t make myelin? They fine-tune circuits! […]
Functional and ultrastructural analysis of reafferent mechanosensation in larval zebrafish
The ability to differentiate between external sensory inputs and reafferent inputs that arise from one’s own locomotion is imperative to navigate environments. This was explored in a study done in […]
A cerebellar internal model calibrates a feedback controller involved in sensorimotor control
Check out our most recent work from Daniil A. Markov, Luigi Petrucco and, Andreas M. Kist, who investigated the role of the cerebellum in long-term motor adaptation using behavioral experiments […]
Vilim is now Dr. Vilim
On Friday June 25th Vilim Štih successfully defended his PhD thesis: congratulations Vilim. The defense was held via Zoom, but Vilim gave his talk from the lecture theater in Biederstein […]
Preprint on gating of mechanosensory reafferent feedback
Iris Odstrcil’s paper from the Engert Lab on how the larval zebrafish deals with self-stimulation of its own lateral line is out on the bioRxiv. This is a great example […]
Brainrender collaboration is out in eLife
Luigi’s collaboration with Federico Claudi and Adam Tyson from the labs of Troy Margrie and Tiago Branco at the Sainsbury Wellcome Centre is out in eLife: Visualizing anatomically registered data […]
OPC collaboration
Our collaboration with the Czopka Lab is out on the bioRxiv. The study looks at the non-myelinating role that oligodendrocyte precursor cells may be playing in the optic tectum of […]
MS paper published
The manuscript Phagocyte-mediated synapse removal in cortical neuroinflammation is promoted by local calcium accumulation from the Merkler, Misgeld and Kerschensteiner labs appeared in Nature Neursocience. It was a pleasure to […]
