Differences in Cajal-Retzius cell density and postnatal persistence across cortical areas revealed by a novel intersectional genetic labeling approach https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2025.04.09.647949v1
So happy to share the second manuscript of the #QuattrocoloLab. This was a side project of a fantastic PhD student, Kristian Moan, that saw something cool in his data and presented it in our annual lab retreat in 2024. Now the whole story sees the light of day. 1/3
#QuattrocoloLab preprint out 👇! We explored changes in the proteome of hippocampal and dentate gyrus growth cones at early postnatal stages. We see that at P1 growth cones from the two subregions are very similar, but start to diverge from P3, with HP growth cones maturing earlier then DG ones.

I really had the best time visiting Vilnius University for the Summer School on Neurodevelopment! Wonderful campus, lovely city and great interactions!

And we are saying goodbye to the first postdoc of the #QuattrocoloLab. It will be sad not to have Keagan around anymore, but he is off to another great adventure! It has been a pleasure working with him and I will surely miss our gene network related discussions a lot!

The #QuattrocoloLab has 5 posters at the #FRM2025. We have interneurons, growth cones and Cajal-Retzius cells, going from proteomics to behavior. Stop by in the Development session Tuesday afternoon!

A small delegation of the #QuattrocoloLab is @corticodevelopment.bsky.social. We did a lab visit of Taormina this morning and now we are getting ready for the science. We are presenting 4 different projects here, from hippocampal growth cones to MEC development to (obviously!!) Cajal-Retzius cells!

I am looking for a postdoc with an immunology background interested in joining a Yale neuroscience lab to study how the brain controls immunity. At Yale, we have a wonderful interdisciplinary & collaborative #neuroimmune community. Please reach out or share with anyone who might be interested!

I fell in love with neurophysiology because of the beautiful biophysical properties of stellate cells

Finally I go back to these cells and put biocytin in them and what a wonderful surprise

The second annual retreat of the #QuattrocoloLab is over. As usual, I was blown away by the presentations and I have so much to think about now!! So many new ideas to test! Thanks to everybody for making it so special.

A temporally asymmetric synaptic plasticity kernel results from bidirectional modifications of synaptic weights around the induction of a place field.

This is absolutely fantastic work!
I agree with everything! I try to cultivate and promote this in the #QuattrocoloLab. And perhaps this is also why I love to study development: it has rooms for all these subfields. But sometimes it is also harder when you don’t perfectly fit in any category.
Neuroscience subfields are often siloed. Embracing an integrative approach during training can help change that, Austin Coley explains: www.thetransmitter.org/craft-and-ca...
