#Autism-related behaviors. @burneuro @maxjosch &co show that 3 genetic models of autism have similar impairments in visual threat responses, and that these are driven by #PotassiumChannel misregulation in Setd5 haploinsufficient mice #PLOSBiology plos.io/3RiSGAc

A new publication by @OptogenEM, the Shigemoto group, and more @ISTAustria, published in @PNASNews, provides a unique glimpse into the brain region accountable for emotion, fear, and addiction.

I’m absolutely thrilled that our work on the ontogeny and the generation of cell-type diversity in the superior colliculus is out @NeuroCellPress 🧠🔬🧬🥳🍾🥂 @HippenmeyerLab @ISTAustria @pauler_m Carmen_Streicher and more! 🧵 sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Absolutely thrilled to share our work @HippenmeyerLab showing that the ontogeny and cell-type diversity in the superior colliculus originates from multipotent progenitors each capable of producing both excitatory AND inhibitory neurons.
