🚩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.

Our paper on zebrafish phenotypes in Alzheimer’s risk genes finally is now in its final form at Elife!

With everything that's going on, I needed this cool data 1 day before #flourescencefriday. It's my first time with #GCaMP imaging (green), and you can clearly see Aβ42 induced hyperexcitability at the same time that we also see BBB leakage (not shown)! #zebrafishrock

Online now: Glymphatics and meningeal lymphatics unlock the brain-immune code

Our perspective in @natrevimmunol.nature.com on new concepts in neuroimmune interactions that have challenged the old dogma that immune privilege is a result of the isolation of the nervous and immune systems. @jonykipnis.bsky.social www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Liang Li and team have developed a VR system for fish to decipher how they school. The team uncovered the natural ‘control law’ used by zebrafish to coordinate behavior with others. @icouzin.bsky.social @uni-konstanz.de @cbehav.bsky.social Paper: www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

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...

1/35 New paper out! @jamesTstroud and I dive into why long-term studies are crucial for understanding evolution. They reveal processes impossible to detect in short timescales and capture rare events that transform our understanding of evolutionary dynamics. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

New insights into neurotransmitter evolution from a GPCR screen in Trichoplax, a neuron-less animal. with Yanez-Guerra et al. https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2025.04.18.649542v1 Trichoplax has tryptamine, tyramine, and phenethylamine receptors […] [Original post on biologists.social]

Thanks a lot for posting it, @zebrafishrock.bsky.social!! The choroid plexus is a major cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) producing tissue in the brain.

You can learn more about the choroid plexus in this original research paper from the Jeong and the @nathaliejuya.bsky.social group: www.cell.com/cell-reports...

“These findings support the use of zebrafish as a useful comparative model for studying the meninges, provide a foundational description for future zebrafish meningeal research” New work from @biomarina-vg.bsky.social & Weinstein Lab at NIH 🐟

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...

Did you know: #zebrafish coined the term "crispant" in this 2016 paper (in a wink to the morpholino counterparts "morphants") #ZebrafishFunFacts 🧪

The movement of brain ependymal #cilia was first described by Purkinje in 1836. Purkinje JE (1836) Ueber Flimmerbewegungen im Gehirn. Archiv für Anatomie, Physiologie und Wissenschaftliche Medicin (Müller) Jahrgang 1836, pp 289–291 […] [Original post on biologists.social]
