Preprint -
Excited to present WHOLISTIC, which extends the concept of whole-brain functional imaging to the entire body. Pioneering work by incredibly talented Virginia Ruetten @vmsruetten.bsky.social, this platform reveals whole-organism cellular dynamics in vivo.

New publication from our lab is just out! rdcu.be/ezk1U
In brief, we showed that glutamate-driven inhibition in the habenula can alter neural activity and connectivity, leading to amplified sensory responses and defensive behaviors.
Inhibition mediated by group III metabotropic glutamate receptors regulates habenula activity and defensive behaviors
Nature Communications - The role of glutamate-driven inhibition in neural computations and animal behavior is not fully understood. This study reveals that group III metabotropic glutamate...

With everything that's going on, I needed this cool data 1 day before #flourescencefriday. It's my first time with #GCaMP imaging (green), and you can clearly see Aβ42 induced hyperexcitability at the same time that we also see BBB leakage (not shown)! #zebrafishrock

Liang Li and team have developed a VR system for fish to decipher how they school. The team uncovered the natural ‘control law’ used by zebrafish to coordinate behavior with others.

I am very happy to contribute this amazing story. In this paper, I generated a genetic tool to trace CSF proteins in the brain ventricles in a noninvasive way. See below and it works very well!!
We identified to our surprise that diffusion plays a major role in distributing small proteins within the brain. See the video below showing the movement of a photoconverted secreted protein in the brain ventricle (credits to our genetic and imaging wizard @inyoungj88.bsky.social)
