NYU PostDoc (Liddelow/Chao) and Leon Levy Fellow in Neuroscience studying ⭐astrocyte⭐ networks! Formerly @ Vanderbilt. Neurodegeneration, visual system, gap junctions, glia, and all things microscopy. MelCooperPhD.com
Now on bioRxiv! Astrocytes in one brain region (cyan) communicate in expansive networks (magenta). Through tool development, tissue clearing, and many hours on our @zeiss-microscopy.bsky.social Z1, we now know these networks are repeatable across mice, plastic, and specific.
