My colleagues and I have just published a new paper in Molecular Neurobiology which contributes important insights into how vitamin D deficiency during embryonic development can alter the brain’s dopamine system. • This research is just a part of the important work coming out of the Queensland Brain Institute linking vitamin D to autism traits and schizophrenia. Working with Dr. Leon Luan and Prof. Darryl Eyles was one of the highlights of my time @qldbraininstitute and I’m looking forward to seeing the rest of this work being published soon. • This image is one of test images I captured when developing the new analysis methods for these studies. We combine advanced microscopy and analysis techniques to image large areas of the brain and characterise each individual brain cell • #neuroscience #microscopy #microscopic #beautifulscience #imaging #microphotography #micrography #brain #scienceisart #sciart
