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.

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.
