A nice shift in perceived colour between central and peripheral vision. The fixated disc looks purple while the others look blue.

The effect presumably comes from the absence of S-cones in the fovea.

Lots of very serious people are working on how to share big datasets across archives and rigging up all sorts of cloud proxy systems and bridges and whatnot and I am here to tell you that torrents with multiple webseeds have already solved that problem

@fim.bsky.social: recommendation on mail-in service for developing film rolls? Found my dad’s old camera and took it for a spin.

Could @marimo.io and @processing.org work together? Always wanted to dynamically alter stuff on the processing canvas and I love the UI and widgets of marimo. Tutorial possible?

Should have taken more pictures. Blame it on the lack of sleep. But here is @gregschwartznu.bsky.social giving a lecture on retinal ganglion cells after @richkramerlab.bsky.social talked about the rod pathway. @mblscience.bsky.social Visual Neuro course.

Super excited to share that our new study is published @natneuro.nature.com today!! Here we show that intersectin and endophilin form condensates between the active zone and the reserve pool and maintain synaptic vesicles near the active zone for rapid replenishment.

Biology Assistant Professor Juan Angueyra is tackling a century-old communication problem in photoreceptor research.

He co-authored a @plosbiology.org paper calling for a standardized method of naming rods and cones across vertebrate species based on shared evolutionary history.

First undergrad graduated from our lab!!! @umdscience.bsky.social
Neuroscience senior Meghan Hnilo received a University Graduate Fellowship to support her Ph.D. at Penn State College of Medicine!

During undergrad, Meghan completed research on the influence of horizontal cell-photoreceptor interactions on early eye development. #UMDgrad

How can organs regenerate fast? Bioelectricity helps -- by coupling sub-second electrical injury signals to regenerative proliferation.
