Visual motion and landmark position align with heading direction in the zebrafish interpeduncular nucleus - Nature Communications How are various visual signals integrated in the vertebrate brain for navigation? Here authors show that different spatial signals are topographically organized and align to one another in the zebrafi...

(1/n) We are excited to share our new paper in Nature Communications, by Hagar Lavian (@hlavian.bsky.social) and team, revealing how the zebrafish brain integrates visual navigation signals! www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Are manifolds real?
Are latent circuits real?
Tatiana @engeltatiana.bsky.social uses one, infers the other, and says yes to both.

Also, how timescales are different and the same across the entire brain...

Honored to present my work on Dracula fish to the Wesleyan Bio Department. Had a blast learning about hibernation in ground squirrels, temp regulation of gonad development in turtles, and newly discovered interneurons in zebra finch brain. Thanks to Dr. Ni Feng for the invite!

Are all first principles wrong, but some are useful?

RIP Ed Kravitz. He was a giant in the field of Neurobiology. I am indebted for his contribution to our understanding of the neural underpinnings of aggression. This is a lovely interview with him:

A flyer for the book Bird Brains and Behavior: A Synthesis authored by Georg F. Striedter and Andrew N. Iwaniuk. The book cover features photos of a turkey vulture, song sparrow, and whimbrel as well as a drawing of an albatross brain.

For anyone interested, here is a link to a CBC Radio interview this morning about our new book on bird brains and behaviour: www.cbc.ca/listen/live-...

And the open access link can be found in my bio.

They're here!! 😆🎉

Huge thanks to Jon Perelmuter and the Bass Lab at Cornell for sharing Danionella dracula fish with us 🐟

Looking forward to launching some exciting new research with these little fishies & @socobod.bsky.social

Introducing warpfield, an open source Python library for GPU-accelerated non-rigid 3D registration. Warps and aligns gigavoxel volumes within seconds (not hours). For 3D microscopy, region-to-region and cell-to-cell matching.
A collaboration with @mh123.bsky.social 🚀
