🚨new paper: the head-direction circuit as a model of primary thalamocortical system. Check this out 👇

kudos to @adrian-du.bsky.social for the huge amount of work put into this opinion piece, starting with the beautiful figures comparing the different thalamocortical systems 🤩

Really excited to share this Opinion piece we've been working on with fellow head-direction cell geeks @apeyrache.bsky.social @desdemonafricker.bsky.social and (bsky-less?) Andrea Burgalossi! While head-direction cells pop up in many cortical regions, we think that one of them is quite unique (1/8)

The postsubiculum as a head-direction cortex

The organisation of thalamocortical networks follows a conserved structure. Traditionally, these are divided into primary sensory systems that receive…

Pourquoi voyons-nous dans le rouge alors que nombre de mammifères (chiens, chats, taureaux (mais oui !)…) ne perçoivent pas la lumière rouge ? Qu’en est-il des daltoniens ? Pourquoi voir rouge tous les jours… limite le déclin de la vision ?

« Voir rouge » est une expression bien connue associée à la colère, mais tel n’est pas le sujet de cet article qui est consacré à la perception de la lumière dans le domaine du rouge. Percevoir le …

Could major evolutionary transitions arise "from within" -- through internal innovation rather than merger? The case for autogenic transitions in individuality is developed here: philsci-archive.pitt.edu/26847/

CAR T therapy has seen great effectiveness in liquid tumors, but little in solid tumors (e.g. ovarian cancer).

Here we developed hyper-migratory CAR TV cells to infiltrate en masse ovarian tumors. (Left: control CAR T cells; right CAR TV cells).
