Very special encounter today at Prague museum! It was incredible to see the skeleton of two of the first humanoids Lucy and Selam from 3.2 millions years ago. I highly recommend to anyone visiting Prague! @emreyaksi.bsky.social

I had a blast visiting @imgprague.bsky.social in Prague. Thanks Sindija Šmite and Martina Huranova for hosting me and giving me the chance to not only share our research but also discuss about Data Management and #FAIR principles at the annual PhD conference. Thanks for your warm welcome.

Check out this exciting study led by Anh-Tuan Trinh from our lab, where we investigated how thalamocortical-like circuits in the zebrafish pallium receive, represent, and integrate sensory information: 🔗 doi.org/10.1101/2025...

Learn about our latest glioblastoma project in the lab led by Natalia Kostilek in collaboration with Gopalakrishnan's lab from University Jena and GliomaPerMed! Natalia is using patient-derived glioblastoma #zebrafish models to understand patient heterogeneity and find cancer therapy.

Hard work pays off! Autumn in Norway 🍄‍🟫🍄🍄‍🟫 @emreyaksi.bsky.social

This has always been a fantastic community driven meeting. It is also a rare forum for scientists, patients and clinicians to come together to come up with solutions to solve the biggest challenges facing the cilia community and fill knowledge gaps. All cilia enthusiasts - mark your calendars!

Have you saved the date for #Cilia2027? It is going to be in March 2027 at this lake near #Milan. 👇

🚩Publication Alert🚩"Advection vs. Diffusion in Brain Ventricular Transport" by Herlyng at al in collaboration with @utropstegn.bsky.social at @simularesearch.bsky.social and Jebsen Centre for Brain Fluid Research is now published in Fluids and Barriers of the CNS! 🧠💧

New publication from our lab is just out! rdcu.be/ezk1U In brief, we showed that glutamate-driven inhibition in the habenula can alter neural activity and connectivity, leading to amplified sensory responses and defensive behaviors.

Save the date! March 2027 on beautiful lake Maggiore right outside #Milan, are you ready for #Cilia2027? 🥳 Stay tuned for more info!

PSA: around 5-8% of the population has a color vision impairment for red/green. Many talks at #2025ICDB still use red-green LUTs on slides that are not accessible to everyone. Changing to more accessible colors is doable and easy. We can do better. #devbio #ICDB2025 #WeTheColorBlind

Lab representation at FENS regional meeting in Oslo. Thanks to the organizers and contributors for a wonderful meeting!

One of the exciting part of science is to celebrate milestones! We are super proud of Fanchon, Hien, Natalia and Aurora, our 4 MSc students who successfully graduated! Congrats once again! And good luck for what is coming next! @emreyaksi.bsky.social @inyoungj88.bsky.social @kavlintnu.bsky.social

There will be light at the end of the tunnel

I feel so privileged to be part of this amazing group of scientists! @for5547.bsky.social

For all zebrafish folks - seems like there is finally a good/better zebrafish annotation! Check it out - and thanks to Shawn and his team for putting this together!

Sakura time has finally come to Trondheim 🍒 🌸🍒@emreyaksi.bsky.social

I am very happy to contribute this amazing story. In this paper, I generated a genetic tool to trace CSF proteins in the brain ventricles in a noninvasive way. See below and it works very well!!

Preprint alert: 🧠🌊🦓-🐟 Have you ever wondered how molecules move around the brain? Check out our latest preprint led by Halvor Herlyng from the team of Marie Rognes @utropstegn.bsky.social at @simularesearch.bsky.social and us at NTNU. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Little evening stroll in our backyard. Days are getting longer and the sun is shining 🤩🌞☀️

I feel extremely grateful to have this landscape to rest my mind.

European labs using #Zebrafish need a strong stock center! 🐟🧬 Please support us by depositing your fish lines at EZRC and allow us to redistribute them to the #zebrafish community worldwide. 👉 www.ezrc.kit.edu

Really cool video. @ecomorph.bsky.social guides us through all eyes in the animal kingdom! Cephalopod (especially squid/cuttlefish) eyes are the most beautiful of course. www.youtube.com/watch?v=2vjm...

Glad to have been part of this wonderful meeting! Thanks to the organizers for being together mathematicians, physicists, biologists and physiologists studying cilia from many different angles.

Check out the latest preprint from our lab, led by Aytac Kadir Mutlu, on the role of topographically organized dorsal raphe (DRN) activity in regulating forebrain function and adaptive behaviors! 🧵👇 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Cilia has been at the center of our discussions at the spring school of our @for5547.bsky.social cilia consortium. In total there were 26 trainees from across Europe, few PIs and our brilliant coordinator Christina Klausen.

And we even found something that looks like a cilium in downtown Koblenz after lots of exciting science presentations and discussions on how to generate #FAIR data. @for5547.bsky.social

Skiforholdene var kjempebra i fjellet, men med dette innlegget ønsker jeg å takke Forskningsrådet (NFR) for deres siste podkastserie som har underholdt meg under skituren og gitt innsikt i fremragende forskning i Norge. www.forskningsradet.no/om-oss/forsk...

We have extended the deadline until Feb. 14th. Take the opportunity, funding support is avaliable! 🐸⚠️ meetings.cshl.edu/courses.aspx...

I know this site only reaches a subset of neuro/ cog professors. If you know a young professor in the area who would benefit from a week of targeted learning about doing good science, good mentoring, networking etc, it would be great if you could forward them: compneurosci.com/Neuro4Pros/i...

The Michael Sars Centre annual symposium has become a yearly landmark in our academic life, and an ever inspiring day of Science. Check it out and attend 🙌🏻🧪 #MSS2025 @embl.org

Great to see our #FOR5547 members present the research performed on #cilia in our research unit and congratulations to @wachtenlab.bsky.social 🎉

Tadpole-like ceramic art makes a nice add-on to a fantastic #NBS contact meeting in #Røros. Big thank you to @nathaliejuya.bsky.social and organizers for the invitation.

Decoding cilia signaling and function by the one and only @wachtenlab.bsky.social Thanks for delivering a fantastic #FEBS national lecture at the Norwegian bioscience society winter meeting.

Cilia2027 in the making! We are all looking forward to hosting you in Milan in Spring 2027 for lots of discussions on cilia! The exact dates will be set soon, so keep en eye on our social media platforms. More to come.

The best cilia conference. In the spring. On a beautiful lake outside Milan, Italy. Start planning your travel for 2027 👇😀

While all snow is melted during last week in Trondheim (7-10 degrees), Storlidalen had plenty of ice/snow and charm 🙂 , with @nathaliejuya.bsky.social

Have you ever wondered what role motile #cilia and cerebrospinal fluid (#CSF) play in brain development and physiology? If yes, please check out our latest article now published in Cell Reports and spearheaded by the newly minted Dr D'Gama www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

bsky I need advice. We made an antibody & published it. It turned out to be SO useful & dozens of labs requested it, which made me so happy! BUT now we've run out. People keep asking for it & I hate telling them we're out. I want to make more but we don't have the funds right now. what would you do?

A sunny Sunday ski trip to Hjerkinn plateau with @nathaliejuya.bsky.social turned into a muskox safari at -18oC

Learning to ski as an adult is not an easy task, but I m so glad @emreyaksi.bsky.social dedication paid off ❤️

French orthography is so hard! This TedX talk (only in French though) provides a very interesting point of view of why and what it means! I highly recommend. youtu.be/5YO7Vg1ByA8?...

Very Nordic problems already: use your lunch break with @nathaliejuya.bsky.social to clear the boat from a big pile of snow, to prevent it from sinking 🙂

Ending 2024 with a night time ski trip with @nathaliejuya.bsky.social followed by a Negroni ;) happy new year to you all !!!

Calendars out- just over two weeks until our 🎉50th🥳 @bscb-official.bsky.social @gensocuk.bsky.social @ukcilianetwork.bsky.social e-symposium 14/01/2025 15:00-17:30- everything hot in #cilia #centrosomes free & open to all! Register to access this 🔥 series: www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/bscb-genso... /1

10 Years ago today @nathaliejuya.bsky.social and I made Norway our new home. This beautiful country has given us so much, but the best of all were the wonderful people in our teams and institutes ( @kavlintnu.bsky.social ) that we got to meet and work with. Looking forward to the next 10 years....

Happy end of the year holidays to all of you. We hope that these snow photos can bring some Christmas feeling. 😻❤️🎄🎅🌲
