🔥🔥🔥Exciting news! I just published a preprint on the #Ultrastructure of #PrecapillarySphincters and the #NeurovascularUnit. This study is based on the https://www.microns-explorer.org/ dataset by @AllenInstitute. Check 🧵 for more details, including movies of the findings. (1/15)

'That sense of phew, though, Bansal said, feels tenuous. The coronavirus’s evolution is not yet predictable; its effects are nowhere near benign. This might be the longest stretch of quasi-normalcy that humanity has had since 2020’s start, but experts can’t yet tell whether we’re at the beginning of post-pandemic stability or in the middle of a temporary reprieve.'

Wow. Hindawi is terminating four journals that had been used as dumping grounds for paper mills.

Impressive work by @deevybee who uncovered this mess in the first place.

Yes, in the olfactory system of #Drosophila, projection neurons respond with the derivative of the olfactory input, albeit somewhat meddled with intensity too (and further confounded by habituation). Useful to navigate odour gradients. See:

"Projection neurons in Drosophila antennal lobes signal the acceleration of odor concentrations" by Kim, Lazar & Slutskiy (2015) https://elifesciences.org/articles/6651

This week, I highlight the work of Zhu et al. in Nature Immunology. The authors examined the effects of stress on the gut microbiota in mice and found that changes in a Lactobacillus species were associated with increased numbers of IL-17-secreting gamma-delta T cells in the gut. These cells migrated to the meninges and were associated with changes in behavior. Targeting this axis may have therapeutic benefits for patients with depression.
