Excited to post a new preprint, work by @T___Kawashima, @zq_wei and collaborators: Voltage imaging reveals circuit computations in the raphe underlying serotonin-mediated motor vigor learning biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

As animals adapt to new situations, neuromodulation is a potent way to alter behavior, yet mechanisms by which neuromodulatory nuclei compute during behavior are underexplored. The serotonergic raphe...

Confusing stuff. Influx isn't efflux (clearance). Is it less gets in during waking or simply more on net gets out? Also, per intro, more Abeta is *secreted* during sleep deprivation, so its accumulation says little about clearance. biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Very happy to have Boston Children's Hospital cover our recent Science paper on macrophages quality assuring stem cells by sensing ROS (dooming) or endogenous viral elements (grooming). This discusses our future plans. answers.childrenshospital.or…

Incredibly proud to share this work, almost 6 years in the making, out in @ScienceMagazine!!! 🎇 We've known for over a century that eukaryotes of all kinds anticipate the seasons (think: hibernation, flowering, reproduction), but what about bacteria?🦠 science.org/doi/10.1126/scie…

Bacteria can anticipate the seasons: Photoperiodism in cyanobacteria

Photoperiodic time measurement is the ability of plants and animals to measure differences in day versus night length (photoperiod) and use that information to anticipate critical seasonal transfor...

We've modded/interpreted the original paper's protocol slightly. Happy to share what we've done.

Re: sperm shipping rules, this will obviously vary from country to country, so there are still some practical issues that you would need to work out on the shipping/receiving end. But our experience so far is MUCH less paperwork and like 2 orders of magnitude cheaper.
