Two papers in two weeksAnother paper from our lab is out for review!
This paper unravels how serotonin signaling via specific neurons is involved in deciphering conflicting olfactory stimuli. Great work from my grad student Caroline Muirhead, the lead author.

Holy microscopes Batman. This is shockingly good and unexpected news. Let me know if you'd like an update to your @the.3i.social microscope or a replacement to some obsolete microscopy equipment in your lab. 3i makes modular tools that can fit quite cleanly into the supplement program. #specificaims
