Grad student spotlight: John Hageter is a PhD candidate in the @Horstick1 lab who uses zebrafish to study how environmental stimuli alter visual processing and behavior. Here, John can see how neurons (yellow) respond to stimuli in a whole-brain GCaMP!

post-gazette.com/news/health/20… Great story highlighting the recent collaborative NSF EPSCoR grant we are a part of and the exciting work we plan to do @wvutoday @WVUBiology @WVUEberly @EberlyResearch

@wvutoday Proud to be part of a large NSF grant to expand neuroscience infrastructure and capabilities across the mountain state @WVUBiology @EberlyResearch @WVUEberly #Zebrafish

This week’s #FluorescenceFriday user is Eric Horstick! #HCRimaging enabled @Horstick1 to test for gene expression and neural activity changes in vivo. View his beautiful HCR RNA-FISH images of larval zebrafish below, and check out his lab page for more info here: horsticklab.org.

Latest preprint. Using a cross species approach (6 in total) we find behavioral lateralization is conserved in evolution with distinct forms that have an overlapping neural basis - and more. Thanks to great collaborations @eduboue & Jeff Mumm biorxiv.org/content/10.110… @WVUBiology

We are excited to share our new preprint. We found a visual critical period in larval zebrafish where brief asymmetric visual experience instructs neural and behavioral asymmetries @WVUBiology @WvuNeuroscience @WVUVisualSci #zebrafish #Science biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

First paper finally in press. We developed zebrafish as a model of individuality. Come see how molecular dose-dependency and the environment generate unique motor behavior across genetically similar individuals doi.org/10.3389/fnbeh.… @WVUBiology @FrontNeurosci #zebrafish

biorxiv.org/content/10.110… Despite a year and counting with many roadblocks, we submitted our first paper - individuality in zebrafish and factors modulating inter-individual differences. Congrats to the lab and our great collaborators. @WVUBiology @NeuroscienceWVU

Here's some food for thought to get you through the weekend: What "ideas" 💡are hatching in the @Horstick1 lab? @WVUEberly #science #lablife

Reviewers: if you are assigned a manuscript that is well written and data are clear, can we agree to say no changes needed? It seems many suggest unnecessary changes just to feel they are a good reviewer. This is damaging to students, postdocs and PIs 😡 @AcademicChatter

NICHD former fellow interview and some of my thoughts on the exciting journal as an assistant professor @WVUBiology @NICHD_NIH #zebrafish science.nichd.nih.gov/confluence/dis…

guess that’s about that

@scekker i’ll never complain about running my fish facility under “normal” circumstances again

Hi, I’m Steve. After spending the last two months living on Zoom, communicating via video calls and using the latest technology, one thing is clear. There is no question - I am not a budding YouTube Star. Not even a stalk, or even a seed. Nada. What has COVID-19 taught you?

@GregMarquart he got away

@Horstick1 Hope someone catches this scruffy looking ruffian

fish room alarms in the middle of the night during a pandemic. But I saved the day (night) #winning #science #sciencelife #biology #zebrafish

And sure enough normal looking mosaic eyes hets had only weak motor bias! Nice example of how heterozygous mutations can cause subtle behavioral phenotypes like 'handedness'.

Congrats @Horstick1 on publication of his cool story about 'handedness' in #zebrafish with literally a twist at the end of the tale! Here's how we worked it out... rdcu.be/b2rT1
