Species-specific Rates of Fatty Acid Metabolism Set the Scale of Temporal Patterning of Corticogenesis through Protein Acetylation Dynamics Developmental processes display temporal differences across species, leading to divergence in organ size and composition. In the cerebral cortex, neurons of diverse identities are generated sequential...

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

How are cross-modal projections patterned across the cortex? So excited to share my postdoc work at the Crick - it was a wonderful collaboration with co-first author @alexegeaweiss.bsky.social in the labs of @flor-iacaruso.bsky.social & @petrznam.bsky.social

We developed a compact and open-source, low-cost photodetector system for neuroscience experiments doi.org/10.1016/j.oh... @flor-iacaruso.bsky.social

Barcoded Rabies In Situ Connectomics for high-throughput reconstruction of neural circuits Sequencing of oligonucleotide barcodes holds promise as a high-throughput approach for reconstructing synaptic connectivity at scale. Rabies viruses can act as a vehicle for barcode transmission, than...

Very excited to see the amazing work by Alex and @antblot.bsky.social is out- they developed a barcoded rabies tracing technique for looking at single neuron inputs of hundreds of neurons in parallel. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

My PhD project is out as a preprint!
We combined 2P and synchrotron X-ray to understand mouse olfactory bulb circuits, linking physiology to structure in 3 animals!
