How do bottom-up and top-down thalamic inputs map onto the rich cellular taxonomy of the visual cortex? We combined transsynaptic tracing with spatial transcriptomics to find out. Our new preprint reveals a cellular framework for cortical hierarchy: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

A collaborative paper with Ge/Wei/Scanziani @hhmi-science.bsky.social integrating our anterograde trans-neuronal tracer (mWGA-mCherry, PMID: 35524141) with MERFISH to decode higher visual circuits (aka. reciprocal circuits) #Braininitiative #Brainconnects #vision www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

A new study, led by Kushal (Berkeley), Nicole&Victoria (UCSF) in full collaboration with @karthikshekhar.bsky.social, "Molecular and spatial analysis of ganglion cells on retinal flatmounts identifies perivascular neurons resilient to glaucoma" sciencedirect.com/science/arti... #retina #MERFISH

@natrevneuro.nature.com just published a beautiful cover for the issue that includes the recent review on analogies in the visual system of vertebrates and invertebrates (@ryosuketanaka.bsky.social). Read it here doi.org/10.1038/s415... Science and Art, what could be better?
