"Why Frosted Flatwoods Salamanders (Ambystoma cingulatum)?" This short video, produced by Conservation Research Bridge Program Research Assistants Nadine and Natane, seeks to answer that question! For more information on this species, click below! amphibianfoundation.org/index.php/rese…

The Schmidt objective made cover in Nature Biotechnology ! Many thanks to all coauthors & especially @FritjofHelmchen for allowing me to work on this crazy project that brings ideas from scallops & #astronomy to #Microscopy! #imaging nature.com/articles/s4158…

This #SalamanderSaturday, we're shouting out Noise Engineering (Noise Engineering), who made a big splash with their recent donation to AF's newt-centric conservation projects, including our work with the Striped Newt (Notophthalmus perstriatus) Repatriation Program!

Did the Simpsons really do it again, predicting something like the Apple Vision Pro?

The World's Oldest and Largest Nile Crocodile in Captivity, Henry, a 122-year-old 5-meter-long Nile Crocodile who lives in South Africa. He has fathered 10,000 offspring. He is estimated to weigh almost a ton. [📹 Wild Charles] x.com/i/status/17586…

Better quality, more compact, and cheaper open source light sheet microscope developed by @nvladimus and Fabian F. Voigt from the @FritjofHelmchen lab! Go check out the paper and ask your departement head if you can get one for Easter this year...

We wrote a contemporary review about the lateral habenula and it's function in value-guided behavior which is now published in Cell Reports. Go check it out! cell.com/cell-reports/f…

Check out the latest work on hippocampal, astrocytic signal processing from Peter Rupprecht in the @FritjofHelmchen lab out in Nature Neuroscience ! Also something for the LC gang...

As the time for FENS approaches, the struggle of searching for poster abstracts on the official website becomes real. But fear not, we are back with the unofficial #FENS2024 abstract database, with a new, fast, and searchable format. fens2024.neuronaldynamics.eu

I'm very happy to share that my main PhD work is finally out in Nature Neuroscience ! All analysis code and preprocessed data is published online, check it out :) Big thank you to all co authors and everyone who supported me along this long journey! nature.com/articles/s4159…

Excited to see our story now out in Nature Neuroscience Many thanks to Sebastian Enric Llorens Margherita Zamboni Sarah Mundt Jonas Frisén and all the other contributors!   nature.com/articles/s4159…

Very honored for the recognition of my work by my graduate/undergraduate alma mater! They granted me the FAN award 2025 and the CMB prize 2024. I am deeply grateful to my former and current mentors, my collaborators, and my family without whom this would not have been possible!

How much analgesia is needed to manage pain levels in mice after brain surgeries? A single dose of meloxicam seems to be enough. Even the addition of opioids cannot provide a clear benefit (in line with recent work from others, see refs in our preprint): biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Now published in Journal of Neuroscience!🥳 SfN Journals with public reviews and open datasets: jneurosci.org/content/45/18/…

Two papers, three dimensions! Anna Maria Reuss describes a generic technique for 3D-histology of human archival paraffin blocks, and Francesca Catto shows breathtaking videos of mouse brains with Alzheimer's. journals.plos.org/plosone/articl… biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

biorxiv.org/content/10.110… Amazing work by Anna Maria Reuss from Universität Zürich! Clearing and staining of large archival FFPE human tissue blocks from various organs. This method now enables comprehensive 3D studies from FFPE tissue biobanks.
