And another year of my students smashing the poster presentation - they are the reason I keep up to date with the AIS literature!

From the Cajal exhibit at the Sainsbury Wellcome Centre. Straight to the bulb!

Today we have @inchinn.bsky.social in the department! The room is packed for what we’re sure it’ll be an inspiring seminar.

Now what were the chances of finding a picture of my hometown in Spain on the London tube??!!!

Matt’s speaking today at the Crick about human olfactory sensory neurons and showing some nice staining our student Ziyi did in human samples @grubblabneuro.bsky.social

Of course, a fully packed day with experiments made it impossible for me to cross the river and be there in person. Classic.

Probably the coolest piece of equipment in our lab right now

Mitral and tufted cells in the olfactory bulb (cyan) with their axon initial segments (AIS, red). All fluorescence is endogenous - no amplification! The mouse expresses tdTomato in the whole neuron and GFP exclusively in the AIS.

They have…

Too many parallels, if you ask me
