Huge thanks to @paveltomancak.bsky.social and @embo.org for hosting this year's amazing Light Sheet Microscopy course #LISH25. Our @dvonwangenheim.bsky.social and team were thrilled to capture beautiful images of many samples with AxL Cleared Tissue LightSheet 🔬

Walking into the brain of an Alzheimer’s mouse. I overloaded the mouse with therapeutics (pink) and labeled vessels (green), and was clearing the brain for almost 2 months. Thanks to Stephan for a nice movie from #Blaze microscope at #LISH25 #LISH2025

It was such a lovely (though a bit tough) experience for me! Thanks to the organiser @paveltomancak.bsky.social for the inspiration for this long trip (even if it was the “minimal version”) and for another great day at #LISH25.
#LISH25 free day ride. Epic. Almost 90 km.

My tutorial materials & slides about #Reproducible #BioImageAnalysis using Python, Napari, Jupyter and #AI are available #openaccess.
Thanks to #EMBOlsm25 for having me! It so great to visit friends at my former academic home campus for a couple of days 🤩

Excited to present our study in ‪@natneuro.nature.com‬: a deep brain pathway that triggers safety-driven movement—overriding needs like finding food or social contacts. A look into how the brain weighs deep instincts. Congrats to all and first author @nkrauth.bsky.social. shorturl.at/toYFN
A hypothalamus–brainstem circuit governs the prioritization of safety over essential needs - Nature Neuroscience
Animals need to adapt behavior to balance survival with fulfillment of essential needs. Krauth et al. identify neurons in the lateral hypothalamus that, when activated, prioritize survival over other ...

Your brain functions not only as a thinking organ but also as a miniature water factory. We here calculate how much water neuronal mitochondria produce by glucose oxidation: 300-400 ml. Of that amount, 100 ml go into brain's interstitial fluid. fluidsbarrierscns.biomedcentral.com/articles/10....

Maintaining brain fluid homeostasis is of critical importance for creating a stable environment conducive to optimal neuronal functioning, nutrient distribution, and waste product removal. In this stu...
