Thrilled to share that our work is now published in Science! ✨

We found a preference for visual objects in the mouse spatial navigation system where they dynamically refine head-direction coding. In short, objects boost our inner compass! 🧭

New from the lab: Fatty Acid Metabolism Sets the Species-specific Tempo of Cortical Development through Protein Acetylation Dynamics. Led by amazing trio: @ryo2iwata.bsky.social , Isabel Gallego, @emirerkol.bsky.social, together with @steinaerts.bsky.social , @fendtlab.bsky.social

New from the Bocchi Lab in Nature Communications:
Cortical astrocytes arise from two distinct progenitor lineages with specialized roles.
Glad my lab could support the lineage tracing part using TrackerSeq.
Congratulations to @bocchiric.bsky.social and the whole team!

Attended the Neurogenomics Conference @humantechnopole.bsky.social in Milan earlier this week. Impressive host institute and an inspiring environment. Thanks to the organisers for putting together a strong and engaging meeting.

Our group leader @chr-mayer.bsky.social is one of the awardees of the Simons Foundation Autism Research Initiative (SFARI) Pilot Awards for a novel research project on the role of genetic mutations in chromatin-modifying enzymes in the development of autism – Congratulations!! 🎉 🧠✨

Big thanks to #SFARI for supporting our research through a 2024 Pilot Award. This funding will help us explore how mutations in chromatin regulators ASH1L and SETBP1 impact the development of inhibitory neurons and contribute to autism spectrum disorders.
