Manzini Lab 🐸

⚠️Our review "Principles of odor coding in vertebrates and artificial chemosensory systems" has been reformatted and included in the January 2022 issue of "Physiological reviews". @physiolrev 👉doi.org/10.1152/physre… It is freely accessible. Have a look at it!

Dear all, Sara is a friend and former PhD student of mine. She has been dealing with a malignant brain tumor since 2019. Unfortunately, the tumor recurred for the second time in November. If possible, please help. For more information click this link: gofund.me/ca61ad48

26 years after Larry Swanson emphasized “the amygdala is neither a structural or functional unit” we used sn-RNAseq to answer the question: “What is the [primate] amygdala?” Check out the preprint 👇 biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

The schedule with abstracts of all 179 symposium talks, all 42 oral presentations, and all 343 posters is now posted as a new green button at the top left of our home page isot2024.is

Exciting news in olfactory #research! 👃 An international team of scientists including @StopkaPavel lab 🐁 from our faculty and @BIOCEV_science decoded the #scent code of mice and the role of vomeronasal organ in social #communication . The study was recently published in @eLife

@yaksi_emre Thank you Emre! 🤩

@ManziniLab Wow ! That’s so cool !!!

Amphibian olfactory systems are amazing! 🐸 After transection of the olfactory nerves, the functional recovery is extremely precise and leads to the restoration of olfactory behavior. New publication out in the "European Journal of Neuroscience"!👇 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/ej…

1/5 Inhalation does not improve memory compared to exhalation - A cautionary tale. In the largest study to date (pre-registered, total n=214), we tested memory performance as function of inhalation vs. exhalation #Neuroscience" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/ps…

Looking forward to read this! 🔝

Congratulations #AChemS2024 Career Award Winners! 🎉

Paper alert! We combine modeling and experiments to study “balanced” EI assemblies of co-tuned excitatory and inhibitory neurons in a memory network. TL; DR: EI assemblies suppress “runaway activity” & “runaway correlations” - which interfere w/ memory capacity & discriminability

Wow! The registrations have been pouring in the last few days. Great that so many 👃🏼& 👅 colleagues are joining us in Reykjavik. If you till didn’t sign up… don’t worry. We’re still open! isot2024.is/registration-i…

#Review alert! Thrilled to share our new review in Trends in Neuroscience on #cilia in neurons where we dive into cilia diversity and signaling in the sensory and central nervous system. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Back-to-back papers: very excited about our latest publication, together with @BehzadIravani, @ArtinArshamian, and @OdorJohan from @karolinskainst sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

An atlas of the nasal mucosa in mice describes three #TuftCell populations, two of which were previously annotated differently and a third which had not yet been defined. @BrighamWomens @BankovaLora scim.ag/5LY

@larastwitta Thank you, Lara!

Once again, an unexpected finding in the olfactory system of amphibians. 🐸👃🧠 New publication out in "Developmental Neurobiology"! Have a look at it:👇 doi.org/10.1002/dneu.2…
