Early Christmas present from former graduate student @DrDylanFaltz his dissertation work finally getting out there. Check out Dylan's pre-print biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Did nervous system patterning and brain evolution coincide? How may they be connected? An interesting piece, on my reading list by @LaydenLab @laydenbio and colleagues...

1/2 I waited a bit with this announcement, but we received good news a couple of weeks ago: our Israel Science Foundation proposal was funded and we will study the role of #venom in organismal #fitness using #Nematostella as a model. Big thanks to @joachimsurm who helped with>>

⁦@DrDylanFaltz⁩ joins the ranks of excellent young scientists. Fantastic defense! You will be missed when you start your next phase with ⁦@JustusKebschull⁩

After extensive additional experiments we updated our @biorxivpreprint, showing that "Whole body regeneration deploys a rewired embryonic gene regulatory network logic". Great job @H_Johnston987 @ScientistJake @AAmiel @KNedoncelle @Joao_E_Carvalho ! tinyurl.com/NvGRNlogic

New #openaccess #research from Michael Layden and colleagues shows that the #nerve net of #Nematostella scales with changes in body size, and different #neuron subtypes have distinct responses to #regeneration. bit.ly/2RF2B7r #Neurogenesis

It’s finally out. Long slog trying to complete through the pandemic. rdcu.be/ckMVz great work @JamieHav and @Layla_Al_Shaer

@simon_sprecher Me too

My kids would love this....

Previous work defined astroglia as regulators of plasticity at individual synapses. A study in Nature shows that astrocytes also regulate motor circuit critical period closure to ensure proper locomotor behaviour. go.nature.com/322NENX

Beautiful data on patterning the AP axis of the #cnidarian nervous system by @DylanFaltz @LaydenLab

Olfactory organ of a squid #cephalopods #Science #Microscopy - Simply because it’s beautiful!

Revealing the evolutionary trajectory of the first nervous systems: genomics, structure and dynamics. Together with Fred Wolf (MPI for Dynamics and Self-Organization) I am organizing a virtual symposium: nwg-goettingen.de/2021/ Deadline: 15. March 2021. Please retweet.

@Pawel_Burkhardt Looking very much forward to it!
