🚶‍♀️🚶🧪 My Lab and I are going to do again the #OneWalk #London @breakthrought1duk.bsky.social to show support #T1D #diabetes #research! 🙏 Whatever you can donate, it is really appreciated - Thank you! ➡️ support.breakthrought1d.org.uk/fundraisers/...

Spinal motor neurons in dazzling detail. ✨🧠 Each green dot is a spinal motor neuron - crucial but rare cells making up just 1% of spinal cord neurons. In diseases like #ALS, they are selectively damaged, making them of special interest to neuroscientists. 🔗 https://bit.ly/4anj19z #SciShots

📣 Fully funded PhD positions at MDC in Berlin, all of the below 👇 but also plenty of neuroscience 😉

So I built a small tool that merges Allen CCFv3 with the traditional bregma-relative coordinate system (calibrated with Paxinos & Franklin's Atlas). Click any coronal or sagittal section, and get coordinates instantly. bohanzhao.com/Atlas Hope it saves someone a headache 🐭

Let us help you with your research! All of our neural dynamics tools, software, protocols, datasets, and even hardware plans are available in one convenient place. Check it out and let us know what you'd like to see next: https://www.allenneuraldynamics.org/tools

Unfortunately this is true, BNI is shutting down very suddenly and soon. We’re still sorting through the fallout, but many incredibly talented postdocs and technicians are taking a huge hit to their careers because of this. If you know of openings, even short term, I’d be happy to circulate them.

Imagine mice could build little rockets and go to the moon. How would they move around up there, the little moustronauts? Turns out, they would skip around, just as human astronauts do! @alesantuz.bsky.social explains in a fascinating talk at the @mdc-berlin.bsky.social neuroscience meeting.

Want to hear about #Moon walking, #hypogravity #locomotion, and #proprioception, and are in Berlin tomorrow? Come join us at the 2026 @mdc-berlin.bsky.social #Neuroscience Meeting, 8 May, Campus Buch. I’ll be speaking in Session 1!

New cures feel sudden, but the seeds were planted decades ago by basic scientists. Which seeds will turn into cures? Unpredictable looking forward, a straight line looking back. 🧪🧬 🧵

New preprint out from the lab. We identified three critical windows over which sensorimotor behaviours can be shaped. Altered early experience over these windows changes somatosensory and motor outcomes for life. Tour de force experiments by Laura Andreoli. @medresfdn.bsky.social @uclnpp.bsky.social
