In collaboration with @Harvard and #studyBRAIN Initiative partners, we recently unveiled the first complete cellular map of a mammalian brain. Learn more about MERFISH - one of the lab techniques behind the map: news.harvard.edu/gazette/sto… @USBrainAlliance

Ah, I see the brain localisation wars have started up again Just going to lob this in and run back to my dugout: link.medium.com/IeRVJoI5bxb

Did you know the Allen brain atlas (in red) is slightly tilted compared to the stereotactic atlas (in black) in the sagittal plane? (1/4)

🆕🧠📰🚨 So what makes a person more susceptible to a brain injury? Maybe they are postdocs (people with PhDs: Permanent Head Damage). 🙃 Check out this fresh paper, we probed how physical features of the brain and impact direction can holistically contribute to the risk.

Testing points to cadmium as a problem for spinach

The consumer protection group As You Sow claims it has new testing data showing cadmium, a non-essential heavy metal, in a range of spinach products.

My *first* 1st author paper was published! We compared 2 strategies for concussion prediction: looking at strain in 1) regions that get hit hard (high strain) & 2) regions impt for information transfer in the brain (high change in global efficiency). (1/7) frontiersin.org/articles/10.…
