These are such important efforts by the IBL. I think its impact should be taken very seriously by neuroscientists (when they are in the lab or acting as reviewers) and by the publishers. “You either record an action potential or you do not” I don’t believe this is true for Neuropixels #neuroskyence

Differences stemmed from the way researchers defined concepts, to the algorithms they used to analyze the data, to the parameters they employed when implementing the algorithms, note @mattiachini.bsky.social and Gaelle Chapuis. #neuroskyence www.thetransmitter.org/reproducibil...

The latest story from the #QuattrocoloLab fulfills a long time dream. Are #CajalRetzius cells important for the maturation of spatial navigation? It turns out that superficial pyramidal cells in CA1 care much more about CR cells postnatal presence that deep pyramidal cells.

Spatial representation in CA1 superficial pyramidal cells is impaired after postnatal ablation of hippocampal Cajal Retzius cells https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.64898/2026.03.24.711525v1

This is the most interesting paper I have read in a while. The organization of a neural system (nucleus, layer or whatever) does not matter for function as long as it contains the right cell types connected the right way. Thanks to @gquattrocolo.bsky.social for inviting me to her Journal Club

I'm very excited to finally see this one out in @natneuro.nature.com ! It has been an incredible journey alongside extremely talented people! Thanks to everyone involved and enjoy the reading! 1/n www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Alfred Russel Wallace born OTD in 1823. He said he shared with Darwin “an intense interest in … the variety [of living things] that catches the eye of the observer even among those which are very much alike, but which are soon found to differ in several distinct characters.” 🌱🐋🧪 #HistSTM #EvoBio

Caricature of Wallace, including the words “After you, Mr. Darwin, kind sir.” By David Hughes for the New Yorker.

#QuattrocoloLab preprint out 👇! We explored changes in the proteome of hippocampal and dentate gyrus growth cones at early postnatal stages. We see that at P1 growth cones from the two subregions are very similar, but start to diverge from P3, with HP growth cones maturing earlier then DG ones.

In today’s lecture on microcircuit organization we will go through the classics from Penfield to Eccles and get to cell type specific optogenetics to dissect circuits for top down modulation of vision How neurons connect to compute with a reminder to their biophysical properties #neuroskyence
