Hot off the press:
The excellent Maheva Andriatsilavo and colleagues show how a temporal sequence of stochastic molecular mechanisms allow the emergence of stereotyped individualised neuronal circuits. Just published in Nature Neuroscience:

Sequential and independent probabilistic events regulate differential axon targeting during development in Drosophila melanogaster
Nature Neuroscience - The developmental origin of behavioral individuality is unclear. The authors show that a temporal sequence of genetically encoded stochastic mechanisms explains variation in...

Thrilled to collaborate with @zhixingchen2.bsky.social Lab @pku1898.bsky.social !
We tested new PK Mem dyes—gentle, photostable tools to label the plasma membrane in live neurons, making it easier to track growth cone motility & axonal transport. #liveimaging #neuroscience

This isn't a coincidence, IMO. The fly community is generally super rigorous - because there are so many tools and techniques available, people expect you to really nail things in order to get published (and keep getting funded)
Model organism communities are fantastic. Good work, "Drosophilists"! www.nature.com/articles/d41...
Giant study finds a research field that’s mostly reproducible
Researchers assessed more than 1,000 results from fruit-fly immunity research published between 1959 and 2011. The majority of findings look verifiable.

This time-lapse captures 17 hours of axonal growth from a chicken dorsal root ganglion explant, visualized through the actin cytoskeleton using live confocal imaging.
I just submitted this video to the Nikon Small World in Motion competition. Today is the last day to upload yours! 😉

You maybe interested in this film I made in a very remote part of Tibet while I was doing my PhD in Developmental Biology, shown on BBC2 in 1988.

For this #FluorescenceFriday, let's watch an axonal growth cone (for a change) displaying its most beautiful filopodia (this time)! 🤩 They are so dynamic! 1 image taken every 500 ms for 5 min played at 15 fps. 🧪
