It's #FlourescenceFriday ! This is the optic tectum of a ring-billed gull brain. The red areas are made up of very young neurons, while the green are mature. The egg-shaped structure in the top left part is the nucleus pretectalis principalis, which plays a role in processing visual information.

This is one reason why I encourage all my trainees to do at least one meta-analysis. It changes the way you report your results because you'll never forget tearing your hair out trying to calculate effect sizes and variances from papers that don't report their results in sufficient detail
This is why I now tend towards keeping the main text stats-light but including all tests in a table (or supplementary RMD output if necessary) to ensure that *all* results are fully accessible.

Happy #FluorescenceFriday from an ecologist dabbling in neuroscience 😉 On this image you see a ring-billed gull hippocampus (posterior end; DAPI stained). We are investigating the relationship between fine-scale foraging movement and hippocampal measures - results coming soon!
