First whole-brain recording of social sound processing in a vertebrate. Surprises start in the hindbrain; thalamus gates conspecific calls; male and female brains diverge downstream. Work by @joerghenninger.bsky.social, @mh123.bsky.social sky.social and team. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...
Graphic with scientific image and text: The image features a dark, high-resolution microscopy view of a small organism shown from above, with green and red fluorescent signals highlighting internal structures against a black background. The scientific image is placed at the top and framed by a wide light blue background. Below the image, bold white sans-serif text appears inside dark magenta rectangular boxes reading, βHOW GUT MICROBES INFLUENCE THE HEART.β In the lower right corner is a dark blue βMAX DELBRΓCK CENTERβ logo.
Some gut bacteria talk to the heart β through the brain.
Researchers at the #mdcBerlin identified a gutβbrainβheart pathway in zebrafish. A microbial metabolite (IAA) influenced specific neurons and heart function.
