Using frog metamorphosis, we show that spinal cord cell types diversify as locomotion shifts from swimming to walking, revealing a conserved blueprint for interneuron circuits across tetrapods. 🐟→🐸→🐭

Thrilled to share that I successfully defended my PhD at ISTA! 🎓
Very thankful to everyone at @istaresearch.bsky.social for the support along the way, and thrilled to join the diverse 2026 cohort as a Schmidt Science Fellow. 🌎🌍🌏@schmidtfellows.bsky.social
Congrats to ISTA’s David Vijatovic @neurodave.bsky.social on being named a 2026 Schmidt Science Fellow! As part of this prestigious postdoc program, David aims to tackle the build-up of plastic pollutants in the brain.

Last week I had a brilliant time at the “Microscopy: multi-dimensional imaging and analysis” workshop
@crick.ac.uk
Great deep dive into 3D imaging, super-resolution and practical bioimage analysis. Big thanks to the CALM team for putting this event together! #Microscopy #3DImaging
Excited to share that the main project from my PhD is now out in @cp-cellreports.bsky.social!

What an amazing afternoon at our first annual Neuroscience Faculty Symposium! 🎉🧠🔬
With fellow Neuro Reps Simon & Rebecca, we brought together 14 faculty talks and 100+ attendees—a showcase of our neuroscience community at @istaresearch.bsky.social
Huge thanks to our speakers and all who joined!
Frog metamorphosis reveals how spinal circuits adapt to new motor demands. Vijatovic
et al. demonstrate that the shift from tail- to limb-based locomotion coincides with
expansion and diversification ...
