The real stories behind the latest research papers, from conception to publication, the highs and the lows
Characterizing amphioxus development at the single-cell level: understanding chordate nervous system development
Our team uncovers new amphioxus central nervous system (CNS) cell types and we highlight three developmental origins for the vertebrate nervous system.
Psilocybin desynchronizes the human brain, sometimes
How does a psychedelic scientist give a dose of psilocybin for the first time? What if they never completed an apprenticeship in psychedelic psychotherapy? What if they barely know the difference between ‘bodywork’ and ‘Bath and Body Works’?
An artificial visual sensor with spectral adaptability inspired by the eyes of Pacific salmon
Inspired by the vision systems of Pacific salmons, we designed a spectra-adapted vision sensor based on back-to-back photodiodes. Our vision sensors can collect information in broad spectra and resist the interference of visible light, which improves the accuracy of machine vision systems.
