Lately a biomed student (med practitioner strand). Raised in a lab, like Frankenstein. Quals from my other lives belong in boxes under the bed, not on Twitter.

Today I reached 10,000 citations - let this be a lesson that it's never too late to publish from your PhD. In fact, only today did I have my final acceptance of updated adaptations of an unsubmitted 2015 chapter of my '*pre*-dissertation'. 2 of these papers are not yet published.

Announcing the MapMySections data challenge! Deadline May 30.

The challenge:

📈 create an algorithm that matches fluorescent images of genetic tools to the most likely spatial transcriptomic cell types

💻 present it as part of a user-friendly tool

Global waves synchronize the brain’s functional systems with fluctuating arousal: https://t.co/5S0gqgG2A1
"... ongoing arousal fluctuations are associated with global waves of activity that slowly propagate in parallel throughout the neocortex, thalamus, striatum & cerebellum."

If you are a researcher looking to improve your productivity and impact, we are working on a tool that automatically formats your manuscript for different journals (a truly wasteful task!)

Cont - 💊 Key finding #2: The hypothalamus is architecturally complex - the VMH for example contains at least 5 spatially segregated and transcriptionally distinct neuronal types (5/)

🧠 What’s in HYPOMAP?
We profiled 433,369 hypothalamic cells using single-nucleus RNA sequencing + spatial transcriptomics, identifying 452 unique cell types & mapping them in 3D. This is the most detailed atlas of the human hypothalamus to date. (3/)
