Super excited to have received a @hfspo.bsky.social grant with with @neurofishh.bsky.social for our proposal: Eyes inside out: Visual coding without a multilayered retina in squid and worms.

Seeking input: A standardized nomenclature
for the rods and cones of the vertebrate retina

A number of us have been working on a proposal to bring various disconnected naming systems for the vertebrate rods and cones across species into alignment. The basic proposal looks like this:

I recently went to a talk by Tom Baden (@neurofishh.bsky.social). One of the best I've ever seen. It's a radical reinterpretation of what color vision was initially for. And during questions it covered the roles of the green cone and the UV cones (yep, plural) in mouse vision.

For today's #fluorescenceFriday, a transgenic Danionella cerebrum, the world's (second) smallest vertebrate (yep, "stout infantfish" are smaller, but no one has made them glow yet!). Picci by our very own @xinwei-wang.bsky.social

And for this #FluorescenceFriday, here’s the sequel. Froglet of the same line from the Sweeney lab.

Let us all be in awe of the anatomical beauty of #avianretina 🐔

Here is a cross-section of a domestic chick #retina displaying some beautiful #bipolarcell and #doublecone markers.

Lets do some #FluorescenceFriday

Excited to share my new #preprint with @neurofishh.bsky.social and @teuler.bsky.social
