New review published
“As I transitioned from studying Drosophila to the larval zebrafish, I have been noticing a lot of interesting parallels between their visual systems (esp. tectum vs. lobula), which I feel […]
Heading Direction Network in Fish
We have recently identified a gabaergic network in the anterior hindbrain of larval zebrafish that tracks their heading within the environment. This is truly an allocentric representation: when the fish […]
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 […]
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 […]
BrainGlobe Atlas API paper is published
BrainGlobe Atlas API: a common interface for neuroanatomical atlases is out in The Journal of Open Source Software. We were happy to be able to contribute to this work together […]
Mushroom body collaboration published
We collaborated with Siju and Sophie from Ilona Grunwald Kadow’s lab on the study of dopaminergic neurons in the fly mushroom body. It is available now in the journal Current […]
Calcium sensor collaboration published
Subach’s group from Russia developed FGCaMP7, a novel calcium indicator that contains a subunit from fungi which prevents its interaction with intracellular calmodulin. This ratiometric sensor can detect active and […]
