Are you interested on the evolution of neuronal circuits, the functional interaction between neural circuits and glia, or brain-machine interfaces ? We have a few open positions. zebrain.biologie.ens.fr

Spotlight: Jetter and @SD_Ackerman @BIG_CenterWashU discuss work by @xbel_tan, @c_eroglu et al. (bit.ly/3PcVlcG) which shows that δ-catenin controls the astrocyte–neuron cadherin interactions that regulate layer-specific astrocyte morphogenesis. bit.ly/470q18t

Academic folks, I am sounding the AI citation alarm. I now find in my weekly feed a *published* paper with 'facts' and 'references' that don't make sense. e.g. claims about zebrafish sleep but the citation is 100% about Drosophila! link.springer.com/article/10…
