Embryonic retinal waves! In new study led by superstar student @CVoufo, @AndyQuaen and Ben Smith, a team led by @atiriac1, we describe waves at early stages of development – long before proper neural circuits are present in the retina. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
@MiahPitcher wows the crowd at FASEB Retina Neurobiology meeting with her gorgeous wave recordings.
Hot of the new home-built macroscope. 3 minutes of retinal waves imaged over entire retina. (5x speed). Scope designed and built by incomparable Ben Smith, biology provided by @atiriac1 and @MiahPitcher. So much more to come!
Very thrilled to officially join the Feller lab!
Our paper on adult hippocampal neurogenesis & perineuronal nets is out! Our study reveals a positive relationship between the two. Axons & boutons of newborn neurons are more often associated with PV+ perineuronal net+ neurons in the mouse dentate gyrus: doi.org/10.1002/hipo.2…
Congrats to Miah Pitcher for being awarded the Princeton Class of ‘43 Brinster Neuroscience Award for most outstanding senior thesis! I’m beyond proud of her and couldn’t have imagined a better student & friend to work alongside with ❤️ She starts at Berkeley neuro this fall!
