Tracking Satb2-positive retinal ganglion cells in zebrafish unveils developmental functional reorganization

Retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) relay visual information to the brain, and their functional properties are crucial for visually guided behavior. However…

Happy to share our new paper published in @currentbiology.bsky.social! Using in vivo imaging of genetically defined zebrafish retinal ganglion cells (RGCs), we show that while some Satb2+ RGCs maintain stable functional identities during development, others undergo functional changes.

The Hoffman Lab at Yale is hiring! We’re currently recruiting for a Lab Manager and Post-Graduate Research Associate positions. If you're interested in understanding the function of neurodevelopmental disorder genes in the developing brain using #zebrafish, we'd love to hear from you! #researchjobs

Happy to share our new paper published in Nature Communications! www.nature.com/articles/s41... We developed CaMPARI-seq to link neural activity with molecular profiles and revealed how the brain distinguishes optic flow to guide behavior. Congratulations to our postdoc Koji Matsuda!

Molecular and functional dissection using CaMPARI-seq reveals the neuronal organization for dissociating optic flow-dependent behaviors

Nature Communications - In this study, the authors develop CaMPARI-seq to link neural activity with molecular profiles in larval zebrafish. They identify inhibitory pretectal neurons required for...

Found them: the brain's specific "go" neurons for swimming. @fumikubo.bsky.social team discovers the inhibitory pretextal cells essential for optomotor response, dissociating it from eye movements. A stunning map from function to molecular identity. Thrilled to highlight this work! 🐟

Molecular roadmap of functionally defined optic-flow circuits. #neuroscience As a “blend of careful physiology, elegant genetic access and rigorous behavioral readouts”, @sinanmalik.bsky.social highlights a #preprint @fumikubo.bsky.social & team #preLight⬇️ prelights.biologists.com/highlights/m...

Preprint Alert! How does the brain distinguish different types of optic flow? We combined CaMPARI2 labeling with single-cell RNA-seq (CaMPARI-seq) to dissect visual circuits in zebrafish. Read the full study here 👉 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Molecular and functional dissection using CaMPARI-seq reveals the neuronal organization for dissociating optic flow-dependent behaviors

Optic flow processing is critical for the visual control of body and eye movements in many animals. Rotational and translational binocular optic flow patterns need to be clearly distinguished to induc...
