What a pleasure to have Prof Sten Grillner form @ki.se visiting us at Kavli Institute for Systems Neuroscience for 2 full days and inspiring us about vertebrate forebrain evolution

New essay in @currentbiology.bsky.social special brain-body issue! Fly lab meets psychiatrist: how bodily signals shape cognition and mental health. Great collaboration with Albino Oliveira-Maia showing @champalimaudf.bsky.social discovery ↔️ clinic at its best. www.cell.com/current-biol...

Thank you @phylobrain.bsky.social for visiting us and sharing inspiring ideas about the evolution of the vertebrate cortex and beyond …

What is the best brain to study disorders of behavior? Great discussion at @ecnp.eu moderated by @jatinnagpal.bsky.social with inputs from @ribeirocarlitos.bsky.social @emreyaksi.bsky.social @eknapska.bsky.social & Hannah Clarke #ecnp2025

A wonderful Istanbul evening on Bosphorus with colleagues to celebrate science

So proud🤩: Beautiful work by @clykken.bsky.social 💃🏻 et al: finally we understand how the hippocampus can express multiple maps even though grid cell inputs are universal metrics. E.g. hippocampal global remapping was induced when different grid modules anchored independently to environments. See 👇🏽

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

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...

Thank you @pirtahotulainen.bsky.social for visiting us at Kavli Institute for Sytems Neuroscience and sharing your wonderful science, and making good memories ❤

Academic growth is best understood not as a linear or exponential curve, but as a process of dispersal—spreading ideas, people, and collaborations outward into new domains. #notetoself it’s dispersal, should be dispersal.

🚩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! 🧠💧

Excellent paper from @emreyaksi.bsky.social @manumameli.bsky.social labs. So much gold in the supplementary figures! www.nature.com/articles/s42...

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 postdoc Dr Dila Atak has received a big grant from Health Institutes of Türkiye to investigate alterations in human astrocytes associated with epilepsy. Thanks to fantastic clinicians of Koç University School of Medicine Drs: Solaroglu, Kulac, Gurses, Akyoldas, Baran for their generous support.

The last hike in beautiful Helgeland, with @nathaliejuya.bsky.social ❤

Above the arctic circle with @nathaliejuya.bsky.social <3

Norwegian summer ❤ spring, summer, spring , fall, summer, spring ….. 😉 right @nathaliejuya.bsky.social ???

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

Excited to highlight @emreyaksi.bsky.social lab’s latest work for the @prelights.bsky.social : they’ve uncovered a topographic code in the dorsal raphe that drives flexible sensory–motor decisions in zebrafish, mapping brain dynamics to behavior in stunning detail! 🐟 #zebrafish #systemsneuroscience

Back in “the city”, only for very short this time… but any public transport adventure is a photo opportunity in this beautiful city ❤

Among all things happening in the world, it is Sakura time in our Buvika ❤

Star Wars Day falls on #ZebrafishZunday and we are doing our best to celebrate the day with this Naboo N-1 Starfighter-themed zebrafish larva! Credit to Dr. Ahmed Jamali of @emreyaksi.bsky.social Lab. #MayTheFourthBeWithYou 🧪

Back in beautiful Norway ❤ for an Easter hike with @nathaliejuya.bsky.social … God paske !!!!

Back in the magical city ❤

Goodbye sunny Bergen, absolutely the most beautiful city in Norway !!! And thank you @lionlchristiaen.bsky.social for the invitation. It was a true blast to get to learn more about the amazing science of @msarscentre.bsky.social

Thank you @lionlchristiaen.bsky.social for inviting me to Michael Sars Centre. @msarscentre.bsky.social is absolutely one of the crown jewels of Norwegian science. I had a fantastic day talking to amazing trainees and group leaders of SARS Center about the biology and evolution of marine organisms.

We are proud to present our new preprint “Correlative light and electron microscopy reveals the fine circuit structure underlying evidence accumulation in larval zebrafish”, just posted on bioRxiv (www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...). (1/10)

How does gene regulation shape brain evolution? Our new preprint dives into this question in the context of mammalian cerebellum development! rb.gy/dbcxjz Led by @ioansarr.bsky.social, @marisepp.bsky.social and @tyamadat.bsky.social, in collaboration with @steinaerts.bsky.social

Fantastic study and collaboration led by stellar postdoc @ioansarr.bsky.social, it was a pleasure to host you in the lab (& thanks to @embo.org for the visiting fellowship)

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.

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...

What a great team to work with <3 We will have a wonderful program. Get ready to submit your symposium proposals soon ;)

Extremely honored to receive this award from a Society I value, full of colleagues and friends. Dev Bio is well and alive, and we're proof of it! Dev Bio FTW

#Cellpose 3 paper now out. Not all images are perfect. Restore your images with Cellpose3 to get better segmentations, w/ @marius10p.bsky.social www.nature.com/articles/s41...

A rainy Sunday walk in Istanbul

Joy ride on the water in a gloomy Istanbul day ❤

Thanks a lot to #FEBS and the Norwegian bioscience society for hosting me and special thanks to @nathaliejuya.bsky.social and @emreyaksi.bsky.social for your hospitality!

Latest from @nathaliejuya.bsky.social lab, on the role of motile cilia and CSF flow on neural and astroglial activity !!!

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

First Preprint from BD lab!🚀 I’m beyond excited to share our ENS-Rich Assembloids (ERAs) - a breakthrough tool for studying the Enteric Nervous System (ENS)!🔬🧫 @ilkesari.bsky.social @belizuzun.bsky.social @t-valenta.bsky.social Check it out biorxiv.org/cgi/content/...

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

10 years ago today, this was our first ski trip in Norway. After many painful years and pure dedication for Emre and lots of patience for @nathaliejuya.bsky.social , now we can truly enjoy Norwegian mountains as we did today ❤

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 🙂
