The fruit fly visual system gets a glow-up during pupal development. A new study reveals how non-neuronal calcium activity fine-tunes the boundaries between each portion of the compound eye. By @lauren-schneider.com #neuroskyence www.thetransmitter.org/developmenta...

In 2017, a lawsuit uncovered emails from Monsanto that suggested its employees helped ghostwrite an influential paper that claimed to find no evidence the company’s widely used herbicide, Roundup, caused cancer. Now, the paper has been retracted. https://scim.ag/4iG55KO

The temperature in central the Netherlands over the past 320 years. Clearly shows that we're already well over 2 degrees of warming here. This year is heading for 11.5°C again. This coming Monday and Tuesday, we'll even have that average, in December...

Nature Sci Rep publishes incoherent AI slop. eLife publishes a paper which the reviewers didn't agree with, making all the comments and responses public with thoughtful commentary. One of these journals got delisted by Web of Science for quality concerns from not doing peer review. Guess which one?

Il y a près de trois ans, Libération révélait qu’un agent du CNRS était suspecté d’avoir harcelé une neurobiologiste et d’avoir dissimulé une caméra dans les toilettes pour femmes. Les victimes dénoncent depuis l’extrême lenteur de l’enquête malgré les nombreuses preuves matérielles.

We look forward to seeing you Tomorrow Nov 26 at 2PM for the 2nd IGN SYMPOSIUM. A time for Glia related Science, with open and live discussion with the Italian glia community. See you Tomorrow!!!  unipd.zoom.us/j/83647074227?… Italianglianetwork.com

Schiphol heeft enorme groeiplannen tot 2050. Deze petitie is een reactie erop, want een pas op de plaats is gepast: de planeet warmt op, de overlast groeit steeds verder en de natuur is toe aan herstel. Zeg daarom NEE tegen de groei van Schiphol. toekomstschiphol.petities.nl

Image screening is going to fail. We need audit trails for data provenance.

@sfn.org #SfN25 #SanDiego starts this Saturday. The lab is going to be there in full force - see our presentations below. Represented this year by @borderbiologist.bsky.social, Nick Kathman, @mrodea.bsky.social, @melcooperphd.bsky.social, @pryprk.bsky.social, @kerrylimberg.bsky.social. (1/2)

Many of our big insights into brain function come from trying to mimic it, writes @timothyoleary.bsky.social. This lesson should guide how we organize research programs. www.thetransmitter.org/systems-neur... #neuroskyence

This was a fabulous, once in a lifetime colloquium -- and now the videos are available in high quality on the College de France web site @college-de-france.fr www.college-de-france.fr/fr/agenda/co... With talks by Edvard Moser, Nancy Kanwisher, Liz Spelke, Manuela Piazza, Luca Bonatti and more!

We are doing it again!!!! Save the date for the next in-person #AstrocyteCafe next June 3-5 (2026) in Pamplona (Spain)! We can’t wait to see many of you in person again, thanks so much to the main local organizer @maitesolas.bsky.social ♥️

This is so good from Cory Doctorow on all the tricks Amazon uses to get both consumers to pay more, and how businesses on the platform end up paying it 45-51 cents on every dollar. Plus he rightly calls for regulatory change, not just individual consumer action www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

The posters are on the wall. Ready for the festival della scienza 2025 starting tomorrow! Excited to see the kids amazed by the multisensory illusions! 🧠🤯🤩

Rapid adaptive optics enabling near noninvasive high-resolution brain imaging in awake behaving mice Under 2P excitation, adaptive optics measures the aberrated point spread function in ≈0.1 s/measurement, compensating for aberrations and scattering. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Learning some useful things on #duolingo! #science

Finally, someone has solved a real problem with AI! No more having to take a paper in the format for a journal that rejected you, and reformat it for a new journal. Well done!! formatmypaper.com

Loved working with our amazing outreach team on this short video about representational drift! @crmatematica.bsky.social 🧠🧪 In it, I explain the points we make in our recent review in CONEUR: doi.org/10.1016/j.co...

Problemen rond wetenschappelijke integriteit halen zelden de media. Dinsdag vertel ik waarom dat problematisch is voor het publieke vertrouwen in de wetenschap en de media, bij een colloquium van @isis-radboud.bsky.social, @willemhalffman.bsky.social. Ook @elisabethbik.bsky.social is van de partij!

Als de woorden worst en burger al zo verwarrend zijn voor de mensen, waarom maakt de Europese Unie zich dan niet druk over partijen die vrijheid of democratie ten onrechte in hun naam hebben staan?

We’ve known for some time that air #pollution is bad for human #health. But the focus was mostly on the lungs and heart. Yet somewhere along the way, it became more mainstream to consider how air pollution might affects brains too. What I found surprising was the recency of that. #neuroskyence

Thrilled to share that our work is now published in Science! ✨ We found a preference for visual objects in the mouse spatial navigation system where they dynamically refine head-direction coding. In short, objects boost our inner compass! 🧭 www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... 🧵1/

This is infuriating. What is the point of a Marine Protected Area if trawlers are allowed to keep ploughing it? Yet again, the government has succumbed to commercial lobbying. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

There is no reasonable justification not to ban bottom trawling everywhere.

Thanks so much @dorsaamir.bsky.social and @chazfirestone.bsky.social, along with @mcxfrank.bsky.social, for your input on this! And ofc @sarahexplains.bsky.social and @parshallison.bsky.social for your editing!

Here’s the blunt reality — reasonably-sized electric vehicles need to be the future of cars, but cars can’t be the future of urban mobility. Fewer cars. Less driving. More inviting mobility choices. Better communities and cities. These are the 4 pillars of the REAL urban transportation solution.

Thanks to @thetransmitter.bsky.social and @ldattaro.bsky.social for this coverage of our recent paper!

Astrocyte specification in the mouse septum is shaped by both developmental origin and local signals www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Kicking off the lab BlueSky with this picture of a happy hairy growing #axon! Looking forward to connecting with science chats and to growing research ideas 🧠🔬✨

Now on bioRxiv! Astrocytes in one brain region (cyan) communicate in expansive networks (magenta). Through tool development, tissue clearing, and many hours on our @zeiss-microscopy.bsky.social Z1, we now know these networks are repeatable across mice, plastic, and specific. doi.org/10.1101/2025...

My car got an Update #GLIA2025

I previously noticed that to decode body movements from V1 superficial layers required much more neurons (>600) than my recordings of deep layers (~200). It's great to see a head-to-head comparison

Check out this cool astrocyte multitasking in the brain! It manages a blood vessel on one side while supporting a neuron on the other. Everything in the brain, from blood vessels to neurons, is interconnected! 🔬 🧠 #microscopy #Neuroscience

What a week in Marseille! 🇫🇷 #GLIA2025 is done, but the buzz stays. We’re already gearing up for #GLIA2027! First step: forming the Programme Committee with a democratic vote by past delegates. Fun fact: GLIA’s even in MarsiGLIA (Italian for Marseille)! #GliologistsTogether

What’s better than a one-channel #Miniscope? 🥁 A TWO-CHANNEL Miniscope! Our new Miniscope2C is a dual-channel, open-source Miniscope that lets you record 2 fluorescent signals simultaneously in freely moving animals. Read the paper here: www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... (1/10)

Absolutely thrilled to share the first half of my PhD work! Super proud to see it finally out! www.nature.com/articles/s41... Thread below for a quick (10 point) recap of what we found! 🧵🧪🧠

This Thursday at #GLIA2025 is packed with insights — outstanding presentations and rich scientific content throughout the day. #Marseille

Can your AI beat a mouse? Mice still outperform our best computing machines in some ways. One way is robust visual processing. 10 years ago I decided to work on HARD behavior driven by COMPLEX visual processing. And that risk is paying off now. #neuroAI 1/n

Thanks to all the people who came to my poster! Lots of nice discussions and suggestions! #GLIA2025
