A Fantastic Team Effort: The Collateral VMH Connectome!
Led by Veronika (voltage imaging) and Chiara (optogenetics), we are thrilled to present the first collaboration between the Calvigioni Lab and the Fuzik Lab, shedding light on the Esr1-positive VMH connectome in defensive behaviors! An exciting start to the year—congratulations to the whole team for this incredible work!
Congratulations on Receiving the 2024 Hjärnfonden Project Grant!
We are incredibly grateful for this support and extend a special thanks to the Team Rynkeby Foundation for joining our mission to advance neuroscience and mental health research!

The beauty of the Brain
Science and art are deeply connected—both driven by curiosity, creativity, and the pursuit of understanding. Here, we share stunning images of the brain (and occasionally the body) to inspire wonder, curiosity, and share our passion for neuroscience. By making the invisible visible, we aim to convey our excitement for the beauty of scientific discovery and the intricate complexity of the brain.
