@AdrianoAguzzi @HaoYin20 Totally agree!! That’s one of the major points of the paper 😊 We found PLX messes w EC cholesterol independent of its actions on microglia. A big take-home message of the paper is that PLX can & does have effects other than microglial depletion!

We will explore how brain circuits give rise to the computational algorithms animals use to solve real-world problems - using the larval zebrafish as a model.
More soon!

@JasonSynaptic The constant posts from this account on my timeline was a huge motivator for my migration to 🦋. The X algorithms are so clearly promoting these and similar posts regardless of whether the AI thinks you’ll be interested in them!!
