🥰 Self-supervised, label-free 3D cell imaging is here

Congrats to Cyril on this very cool first, first author publication 🏆! This started when he was a bachelor's student (and he's now completing his masters!).

And many thanks to my other awesome co-authors🙏

Pleased to announce that one of my first-author PhD works has been recently published in the Journal of Proteome Research! We used #proteomics to identify signalling pathways associated with successful long-term memory formation in the snail Lymnaea stagnalis. Read more: pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/...
Distinct Proteomic Brain States Underlying Long-Term Memory Formation in Aversive Operant Conditioning
Long-term memory (LTM) formation relies on de novo protein synthesis; however, the full complement of proteins crucial to LTM formation remains unknown in any system. Using an aversive operant conditi...

🌟 Cai Lab Nature (@natureportfolio.bsky.social) paper alert! In work led by Joe Zaki, we find that rest periods after learning not only stabilize new memories BUT ALSO integrate new memories with older ones from days past! (1/10)
