And a handy table of neuron types, their molecular markers, projection targets, and the few known molecular determinants of these patterns:

Hope to see that last column fill up soon thanks to exciting new techniques coming up to perturb and observe neuronal projections in vivo
Protein tyrosine phosphatase receptor type kappa (PTPRκ) regulates Superior ON-Direction Selective Ganglion Cell development, facilitating image stabilization https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.64898/2026.01.07.698158v1
And recently identified molecular determinants of some of these patterns:
Featuring distinct projection and branching patterns of different laminar and areal subtypes of cortical pyramidal neurons:
Happy #FluorescenceFriday from this pair of white-matter oligodendrocytes!

Great to see our review of axon branching in the cortex featured on the cover of this months issue of

Megan Doty et al discovered that myelin remains for weeks after cortical axons degenerate. We call the sheaths without an axon de-axoned myelin. During the slow, asynchronous, degeneration, microglia don't play a major role in clearing the axon or de-axoned myelin. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...
Thread coming soon, but be the first to read the latest from @franziau.bsky.social!
