Can’t be happier seeing Richard starting this. His original angle to an old problem ( 😉) has great potential for success.
Fascinating to see how findings in dev. neuro. leads to insights in age-related degenerative disorders!

How does foxg1 impact pineal gland development? What are the implications for FOXG1 syndrome?
Lewis Hill, masters student, investigates this in #zebrafish. His image shows in-situ HCR + immuno in foxg1,Gal4;UAS,GFP zebrafish at 24hpf revealing foxg1 mRNA/protein with pineal markers aanat2 & exorh.

Human cortical neurons growing in a dish, with their signal-receiving structures - dendrites - coloured in green by Richard Taylor.
Richard explores how translation of mRNAs into proteins is regulated in dendrites and whether disruptions in this process in dementia contribute to their degeneration.

This week, post-doc Katie Adamson shares an incredible image of a #zebrafish embryo forebrain at 24hpf with membrane labelled tbr2+ excitatory neurons.
Just 24 hours post fertilisation, neuronal cell types are already being born and will come to form the forebrain of this magnificent beast.

This week, Rachel Moore shares a gorgeous image from her #zebrafish neuron culture. In a dish, these neurons can grow long axons (magenta). If you look closely, you might be able to see some RNA splicing proteins (green) localised as small puncta along the axons.
