Our preprint is out! 🧠🎉 How can we watch a mammalian brain circuit assemble while preserving its native connectivity? Hindbrain explants let us follow the olivo-cerebellar circuit from before synaptogenesis through functional maturation at single-cell resolution. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Hindbrain explants enable multimodal and longitudinal analysis of the developing olivo-cerebellar circuit at single-cell resolution

Experimental models that preserve native mammalian CNS circuitry while enabling longitudinal analysis of circuit assembly at single-cell resolution remain scarce, limiting mechanistic studies and ther...

Le 9 mars, un chercheur français du CNRS a été refoulé par les États-Unis alors qu’il se rendait à un congrès scientifique. L’Académie des sciences s’élève avec vigueur contre cette pratique qui met gravement en cause les libertés fondamentales du monde académique. urlr.me/fva3NE

Un chercheur français en mission pour le CNRS a été interdit d’entrer aux États-Unis et a été refoulé de l’aéroport, le 9 mars, au motif frauduleux qu’il avait exprimé une « opinion personnelle » sur la politique américaine en matière de recherche. www.humanite.fr/monde/admini...
