x/4 😉 and thank you cycling 🚴

3/ Fantastic work by Sabrina Duda that beautifully illustrates how cell types of the early visual system are distributed according to their functional role and to meet the demands of the visual environment.

2/ Dendrites of 🐭 displaced retinal ganglion cells complete the mosaics of their regular counterparts.

3/ Our findings suggest that horizontal cells align the spatial structure of receptive fields in postsynaptic neurons with the visual scene properties from ground to sky.

Flood. Freeze. Sun. Gravel. ❤️

So many beautiful photos in this thread ☺️ But it clearly lacks bikes 😉

Spotted a slime mold for the first time! Amazing creature, just look at those „vessels“. Correct me if I’m wrong, I think it only consists of one single cell!? (Photo about 25 cm from left to right)

Happy New Year everyone 🍀
2024: ride more bikes 🚴, trace more cells 🔬
☺️

Not sure if this time of the year, my hobby, and my (kind of) job will ever be brought closer together than in this image 😂

Happy holidays everyone 🙂

ZO-1 might not be the protein of interest here, but it does the trick, too 🙂

Alright, this year has been exciting, it brought a new job, a new bike, and now a new social media platform. So here we go: I’m Christian, retina researcher with electrodes, light microscopes, electron microscopes 🔬
In my spare time, I ride an Orbea Terra gravel bike 🚴
