Embryonic retinal waves! In new study led by superstar student @CVoufo, @AndyQuaen and Ben Smith, a team led by @atiriac1, we describe waves at early stages of development – long before proper neural circuits are present in the retina. https://t.co/3K0MsoB3re

⁦@MiahPitcher⁩ wows the crowd at ⁦FASEB Retina Neurobiology meeting with her gorgeous wave recordings.

[Dr. Marla Feller @FellerMarla]

Hot of the new home-built macroscope. 3 minutes of retinal waves imaged over entire retina. (5x speed). Scope designed and built by incomparable Ben Smith, biology provided by ⁦@atiriac1⁩ and ⁦@MiahPitcher⁩. So much more to come!

Very thrilled to officially join the Feller lab!

[Dr. Marla Feller @FellerMarla]

So excited to welcome @MiahPitcher from the HWNI graduate program @UCBerkeleyNeuro to the lab. Looking forward to doing science together!

Our paper on adult hippocampal neurogenesis & perineuronal nets is out! Our study reveals a positive relationship between the two. Axons & boutons of newborn neurons are more often associated with PV+ perineuronal net+ neurons in the mouse dentate gyrus: https://t.co/aUHGVWFqr8

Congrats to Miah Pitcher for being awarded the Princeton Class of ‘43 Brinster Neuroscience Award for most outstanding senior thesis!

I’m beyond proud of her and couldn’t have imagined a better student & friend to work alongside with ❤️

She starts at Berkeley neuro this fall!
