Happy #FluorescenceFriday! This video, generated by Jose Maldonado, shows Myelin Basic Protein (MBP) in a whole-mouse brain.
MBP is a component of the myelin sheath, which insulates nerve fibers and plays an important role in nerve signal transmission. →

New publication in @nature.com Neuroscience from our collaboration with the Olson Lab (@ucdavis.bsky.social) and the Heifits Lab (Stanford). The study demonstrates that TBG—a non-hallucinogenic analogue of 5-MeO-DMT—can promote cortical neuroplasticity without inducing hallucinogenic effects.
