Best kind of science: have a talented researcher actually take the effort to look at the study subject and realize something others haven't noticed - even though right before their eyes!
What do mice use their tails for? It’s not as simple as you might think 🐭 New research in @J_Exp_Biol, featuring cute slow-mo videos, demonstrates how mice use their tails for balance – and this may help neuro research down the line 👇 ow.ly/i0uU50TWT8S @Salvatore_Lac @yoe

Marker-based 3D motion capture in mice reveals endocannabinoid kinematic phenotypes - the preprint of our new paper is available now: biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Have you ever wondered what you could do if tracking animal movement during your neuroscience experiment would not require training a machine vision model? If you could just straightforwardly get the trajectories of any mouse moving freely in 3D?

What we found is that not only are all endocannabinoid pathways suppressing locomotion (as you'd think..), but also whatever effects we see depend on the kind of locomotion at paw - horizontal or vertical!

So check out our preprint - work led by @b_ignatowska at @OISTedu - and be inspired. What behaviors should we examine next?

In 1977, Victoria Chan-Palay published a beautiful book on the cerebellar nuclei (link.springer.com/chapter/10…) . When I was starting my postdoctoral life, I was captivated and inspired by her insightful and illustrations.

Personally the significance of this work is much higher than might be superficially obvious, but I do hope that our work and illustrations will serve many new researchers as Chan Palay's book did. #StandOnShoulders

@JustusKebschull (and other authors whose twitter-handles are not known to me) deserve a standing applaud for managing to synthesize a work of this magnitude. Thank you.
