A new @Nature study from Rui Chang's lab uses lineage tracing, 3D imaging, single-cell transcriptomics, and genetic perturbations to show how organ-specific neural circuits are formed. They reveal that organs help shape their own nervous systems.

A new @Nature paper led by @YaleNeuro Rui Chang & @ChuyueYu, shows how tumors help themselves grow by communicating with the brain: "Tumors are really smart. They employ as many resources in the body they can get in touch with to promote their own growth.” https://t.co/Y14EDQWVbR
Fish somatosensory system detects pressure, velocity and vibrations without the receptors typical of amniotes. Our new story by Ke Tan.
Functional evidence for early origin of tactile acuity in the vertebrate somatosensory system. https://t.co/Ly69TVT5R6
T cells do the heavy lifting when it comes to the anti-tumor action of checkpoint immunotherapy. But do antibodies play a role too?
That’s the question @yile_dai looked to answer in his thesis work, out today in @Nature! 🧵below

The first social behavior of a mammal infant is to form a social bond with the mother. In this work, we found that somatostatin-expressing neurons in the ZI of preweaning mice respond to social interactions with their mother. Here's a video highlighting our main findings.
This Valentine's Day, will you follow your heart 🫀 or brain 🧠? The two might not be as separate as you think. New research from Rui Chang's lab @YaleNeuro@KavliAtYale investigates the relationship between neurons and the heart! Check out more here 👇 https://t.co/8FYnqCXGBf
Saddened and shocked to hear that Gordon Shepherd passed away… He was a intellectual giant with kindness and humor. One of two books I secretly brought to Korean army was his Synaptic Organization.. He will be missed.
This #TraineeTuesday, the spotlight's☀️on our wonderful postdoc @fengni99!😊Starting Jan. 2023, she'll be an Assistant Professor at @wesleyan_u, with a core appointment in the Neuroscience and Behavior program!! 🥳 Now let's celebrate her journey to getting #hired! 👏[1/5]
The faculty in @YaleCellBio and @YaleSCC strongly support our colleague Haifan Lin and his entire research group in the wake of his administrative suspension by @Yale, a step taken without any formal charges or due process. See our statement 👇👇
The brain can discriminate numerous body signals through vagal sensory neurons, but how? Learn about interoception and body-to-brain 🧘♀️🧠 connection and how the vagus nerve maintains it in a brand new @Nature paper by Rui Chang, Qiancheng Zhao, and more! https://t.co/XUegco6UbR
Super thrilled that our paper is online today in @Nature. Sincere thanks to my mentor Dr. Rui Chang and collaborator Dr. Le Zhang, and special thanks to @ChuyueYu, Rui Wang, @jessyqian19, and @rafaeldaipra. @YaleNeuro@KavliAtYale
