Inspiring talks at #AXON2025:
@eloisaherrera.bsky.social on reusing axon guidance mechanisms to repair the adult visual system, and @guillelbendito.bsky.social (@glb-lab.bsky.social) on how spontaneous activity and genes shape sensory circuit development 👏#Neuroscience

Great news from #AXON2025 in Rotterdam! 🎉
PhD student Patricia Ordoño @eloisaherrera.bsky.social
won the Best Blitz Presentation Award for “Retinal spontaneous activity and optic nerve myelination”.
Huge recognition for her outstanding work!🏆
@csic.es @dicv.csic.es @umh.es

Congrats also to Dr. @veromb.bsky.social and PhD students Patricia Ordoño & @lpuche1.bsky.social for presenting their posters at #AXON2025!
Great discussions on retinal activity, visual system repair & thalamic development.
Fantastic representation of @neuroalc.bsky.social at this meeting 👏

Mamíferos, aves y reptiles llegaron a tener cerebros complejos por caminos evolutivos diferentes Tres estudios de las regiones cerebrales encargadas de procesar la información sensorial muestran que sus neuronas son y se comunican de forma diferente

New paper out at the Journal of Neuroscience from our president’s @eloisaherrera.bsky.social lab!👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻

This work opens up new avenues for exploring EphA4 broader implications in other cellular contexts, including cell differentiation, migration and synaptic plasticity

Instead of repulsion as previously belief, the tyrosine kinase receptor EphA4, through its ligand ephrinB1, mediates cell adhesion during the establishment of the visual retinotopic map along the medio-lateral collicular axis 🧐

EphA4 Mediates EphrinB1-Dependent Adhesion in Retinal Ganglion Cells Eph/ephrin signaling is crucial for organizing retinotopic maps in vertebrates. Unlike other EphAs, which are expressed in the embryonic ventral retina, EphA4 is found in the retinal ganglion cell (RG...

Thanks to everyone who made this possible 🥰

In situ hybridisation of embryonic chicken eyes confirmed expression of candidate genes, including multiple WNT genes, in tissues important for anterior eye development and function.

Lens-regulated genes implicated in periocular mesenchyme, cornea and anterior optic cup development were identified.

To advance understanding of the molecular regulation of eye development by the lens, we performed transcriptome analysis of lens-removed and contralateral unoperated embryonic chicken eyes.

Identification of lens-regulated genes driving anterior eye development and eye size. Signals from the lens regulate multiple aspects of eye development, including establishment of eye size, patterning of the presumptive iris and ciliar…
