The ON/OFF dichotomy is fundamental to visual processing. In a new study led by Flori Soto, we identify a conserved molecular mechanism establishing the OFF pathway. rdcu.be/eikoa

How flexible are essential innate behaviours and their underlying neural circuits? @Felix_Baier and I, with @HoekstraLab and @FarrowLab, addressed this question by studying the #evolution of threat avoidance in sister-species of Peromyscus mice. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

We found that endogenous ligand for GPR139 is opioid peptide dynorphin. With this, GPR139 may not be an orphan any more but the 5th opioid receptor. Heavy lift by talented Xiaona Li with great thanks to all who contributed!

65 years after Lettvin’s bug detector neurons in the frog retina, we revisit how the retina drives behavior—from reflexes to prey capture to brain-state modulation

We have innovated design of templates for CRISPR/Cas9 editing which allows efficient introduction of epitope tags in vivo. It is a simple hack which we hope to be broadly useful. Work by talented graduate student Chuanping Zhao.

Research from @KLabVision published in @PNASNews, reveals how mice use vision to #hunt! 🐭🔬
Jenna Krizan, PhD, and colleagues revealed that some neurons in the superior colliculus inherit their motion-sensitive signaling patterns from the #retina.

Our latest on GPCR function in the brain. We report that glutamate receptor mGlu4 needs to be properly positioned at synapses of cholinergic interneurons in NAc by cell adhesion molecule ELFN1 to regulate opioid reward.

Excited to share our latest study! 🧠✨ We reveal how non-direction-selective retinal ganglion cells encode motion beyond their receptive field, relaying the unconventional signals to the brain. A new insight into multimodal neurons in visual processing!

Our paper, "The promise and peril of comparing fluorescence lifetime in biology revealed by simulations", is now on @eLife: doi.org/10.7554/eLife.…. Hope readers will use our package to design and interpret FLIM experiments rigorously, and also give us feedback.

Interested in quantifying absolute levels of biological signals and comparing signaling dynamics across time and animals? Fluorescence lifetime, insensitive to sensor expression, could achieve this. Does this hold true in real biology experiments? Check out our manuscript. (1/8)
