Check it out! 👇With growing pressure to phase out animal research, we argue that doing so now, when scientists are just beginning to address sex differences after decades of male-biased research, risks embedding existing knowledge gaps into "animal-free" biomedicine. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

happy to share our new protocol paper on wildDISCO for whole-body immunolabeling, tissue clearing & 3D imaging of intact mice at cellular resolution using standard IgG antibodies, for mapping of neuronal, vascular, lymphatic and immune systems across the entire body. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

The ERC is changing the rules retroactively! A "B" grade now carries a 2-year timeout instead of 1, even for those who submitted under the old rules. Researchers (incl me) make massive career decisions based on these timelines, you can't change them after the fact 😵‍💫 erc.europa.eu/news-events/...

1/8. New preprint! ✨ How spontaneous is spontaneous behavior? 🧠🐭 We found that whole-brain fUSi signals predicted spontaneous behavioral transitions seconds in advance. Inhibiting one node of this transition-prone state, the medial septum, facilitated switching! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

A milestone for the new Cajal!Tetraneuron, a spin-off from Frade lab @institutocajal.bsky.social , secures 5M€ to advance gene therapy for Alzheimer’s into clinical trials. A powerful example of how fundamental science translates into innovation. #neurodegeneration @csic.es

New paper alert! 🚨 We found that the brain's compass is remarkably stable at two scales 1️⃣ the system maintains its internal organization for weeks 2️⃣ It "remembers" its orientation for weeks, even after a single visit This may be key to how the brain aligns its other maps. Paper: rdcu.be/e3waP

tfw when some unbiased experiments validate and extend some older findings... given that we acquiesced to the pressure and gave up this work to start the lab's direction over from scratch... I feel justified to be completely petty and say - suck it neurotrophin haters ;)
