We are interested in understanding how genes are involved in the development of neuronal circuits
Our study on the impact of altered serotonin (5-HT) signalling on developing sensory cortex is now live @NatureComms We use longitudinal in vivo imaging of 5-HT & neural activity to show that this neuromodulator is buffered in early life to promote bottom-up instruction.

1/10 Our latest research, led by @MartijnSelten, identifies a mechanism through which Parvalbumin (PV) interneurons regulate their activity in the #cortex. This is the story @Nature nature.com/articles/s4158… 🧵⬇︎ @dev_neuro @MRC_CNDD @KingsIoPPN @ERC_Research @RosetreesT
In this week’s @Nature, we publish a group effort to outline a framework for studies with neural #organoids, #assembloids and transplantation. More details below 1/n
Science Matters. 🧪🔬🚀 I am alive because of science. We all benefit from science — every day. Science is in our homes, our hospitals, our streets, our work. For 80 years, science and technology have been a north star for the United States. In 1945, Vannevar Bush’s report to…
Congratulations, @GuilleLBendito and @GLB_Lab, beautiful work!
🚀New paper out! Can somatosensory maps be reshaped before birth? We reveal a critical embryonic window where prenatal mystacial whiskers deprivation reorganizes facial maps, expanding upper lip representation, refining map resolution & enhancing function. nature.com/articles/s4146…
Congratulations to winners of The Brain Prize 2025! Professors @michelle_monje, @StanfordMed and @HHMINEWS Investigator, and Frank Winkler, Heidelberg University Hospital, have pioneered the field of Cancer Neuroscience. They have revealed a profound connection between cancer and…
Why academia is sleepwalking into self-destruction. My editorial @Brain1878 If you agree with the sentiments please RT. It's important for all our sakes to stop the madness academic.oup.com/brain/issue/14…
