Spider-like neurons finding their way: signposts for multipolar migration in the developing brain

Posted by Jaakko Lehtimäki, on 11 March 2026

Developing neurons travel large distances and orchestrate into precise layers to enable functional wiring of the brain. Within this unique tissue environment, many neurons use their neighbors like railway tracks, navigating in a directed manner toward their correct layer. However, this is not always the case. Multipolar migration, where cells extend multiple protrusions and display

ESRIC Access Bursaries supported by the RS MacDonald Trust

Posted by Jessica Valli, on 28 February 2022

ESRIC has partnered with the RS MacDonald Trust to provide bursaries for access to our Stimulated Emission Depletion (STED) super resolution imaging capabilities. These bursaries aim to help minimise the long-term impact of Covid-19 restrictions on early career researchers by helping to produce data for publications/theses or for leveraging further funding. These bursaries are available to early
