The lab’s first pre-print! We investigated how growth-inducing Erk activity waves are regulated in regenerating zebrafish scales. We discovered that Erk waves are followed by waves of expression of their own inhibitors, as predicted by excitable waves theory. tinyurl.com/26r2cmpj

We have moved to this new location as we prepare to launch a new edition of the Practical Course on Developmental Biology, Quintya-2025. This course began more than 25 years ago, and we are excited to bring together an excellent lineup of faculty and students for this latest edition

The claustrum is critical for maintaining working memory information
Working memory (WM) enables the mammalian brain to temporarily store and manipulate information, supporting cognitive tasks and communication processes. Rather than depending on a single specialized a...
