The evolutionary origins of synaptic proteins and their changing roles in different organisms across evolution
Nature Reviews Neuroscience - Recent studies have shed further light on the evolutionary origins of chemical synapses, In this Review, Colgren and Burkhardt explore how ancient proteins were...

Following up: searching for the distribution of estrogen receptors in the brain, I realized the Allen Brain Atlas is male only. How is it possible that something this fundamental is still missing?
It's 2025, and there's apparently no female mouse atlas.
Please, tell me I'm wrong.

Francis Crick called it “impossible” in 1979. Now it’s real.
A 1 mm cube of mouse brain, 200k cells, 500M synapses, all mapped alongside neuronal activity.
This new MICrONS dataset maps brain structure and function in a way that we've never seen🧪

Posting this image of neurons transfected to secrete proteins that @jerzyszablowski.bsky.social bioengineered to enable noninvasive monitoring of neuronal integrity in NHPs for #fluorescentfriday.
This technology will eventually lead to improved treatments for neurodegenerative disorders.
