Thrilled to share that our work is now published in Science! ✨
We found a preference for visual objects in the mouse spatial navigation system where they dynamically refine head-direction coding. In short, objects boost our inner compass! 🧭

New from the Bocchi Lab in Nature Communications:
Cortical astrocytes arise from two distinct progenitor lineages with specialized roles.
Glad my lab could support the lineage tracing part using TrackerSeq.
Congratulations to @bocchiric.bsky.social and the whole team!

Developmental processes display temporal differences across species, leading to divergence in organ size and composition. In the cerebral cortex, neurons of diverse identities are generated sequential...
New preprint from our lab on bioRxiv: “Stoichiometric transcription factor partnerships control GABAergic neuron fate allocation”

A great collaboration with @annrosebright.bsky.social, Connor Lynch, @chr-mayer.bsky.social, and many others.
Unlike cortical progenitors, ventral telencephalic progenitors retain the ability to generate diverse neuron types during neurogenesis. Here, the authors show that ventral telencephalic progenitor mat...
Astrocytes display diverse molecular and functional features in the brain, but the developmental origins of this heterogeneity are not well understood. Here, the authors show that two separate progeni...
Combinatorial transcription factor (TF) codes specify neuronal fates, yet how quantitative differences in interacting TFs shape these decisions remains unresolved. We address this in the developing ba...
🚨 First paper from the Bocchi lab out now in @natcomms.nature.com!
We show that astrocytes in the cortex arise from not one, but two distinct progenitor lineages, each giving rise to specialized subtypes with distinct roles.
