This week we're running a pop up Baby Lab alongside showings of First Light as part of @brightfest .
First Light was inspired by Baby Lab research into the development of vision and we've loved seeing how it's turned into a performance piece for babies! 💡👶🎭

I am excited to share that our preprint “Nutritional state-dependent modulation of Insulin-Producing Cells in Drosophila” is now available on BioRxiv. A thread🧵 biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

For 6 million mitochondria in ~21000 neurons of ~5500 types, their location, morphology and distance from synapses with analysis by cell type, synaptic connectivity and neurotransmitter.
Another great team effort. Big love to coauthors.
Enjoy X

Does reward affect vision? We found neurons in mouse superior colliculus that increase their visual responses after reward. Read more about it in the lab’s first paper with @IntoNeurons and @allemanjm: bit.ly/3zmpe35 #tweeprint (1/7)

Finally able to share this incredible story, years in the making! We’ve been looking for the neural pathways that detect patterns of visual motion resulting from body movements (aka optic flow)…and we found some super interesting new ones!

Ever wondered what amacrine cells do for colour processing? The answer may surprise you! Find out more in our new @bioRxiv with @XinweiWang1017 @PAR_EyeMath @TaYoshimatsu @Neonsynapse

Jewel wasp #Nasonia circadian entrainment depends on light intensity and colour, perceived by a colour-opponent circuit downsteam of the eyes and ocelli - the latter include a red! receptor. Happy to have worked with @senz497. Fresh in PRoySocB doi.org/10.1098/rspb.2022.23…

Does anyone know how to fix access errors to #ERIS @ERC_Research? I get an 'invalid user' error and reaching out via contact form throws yet another error. Unfortunately, I can't find any direct support contact information for this advanced analytics tool.
