Phrictus quinquepartitus is what I'd call the dragon-headed lantern bug with the multiple tubercles lining its snout, or apical process.

The apical dendrite looks great, and does wonders in a slice. What does it do in the living cortex? It depends on the cell.

A cartoon providing a graphical summary of the paper. It is divided in 3 rows. The top row shows a pyramidal cell and its apical tuft, and shows the two experiments that we ran: optical dendritic pruning (chopping off the apical tuft), and synaptic imaging done in the same neurons where we do somatic imaging. The middle row shows the results pertaining to neurons that prefer large stimuli (this is visual cortex): pruning reduced their responses, and the receptive fields of apical synapses are far away from the that of the soma. The bottom row shows the results pertaining to neurons that prefer small stimuli: pruning seemed to do nothing to the responses, and the receptive field of apical synapses are right around that of the soma.

Hi Bluesky universe!
Sharing with you my latest work.
This study highlights the importance of the ZP protein Dusky-like in controlling the shape of the fly corneal lens (an apical ECM).
A thread 🧵

Apical cell expansion maintained by Dusky-like establishes a scaffold for corneal lens morphogenesis
Cell expansion remodels the apical extracellular matrix to give the developing Drosophila corneal lens its curvature.

Stipules can be modified (through evolution) to perform tasks. In the aptly named Leea macrophylla (#Vitaceae), the stipule sheaths the stem’s apical bud, thus protecting the apical meristem & the developing leaves. #stipule. #Botany 🌾🧪🌱
Photo of a hand holding aside a very large, simple leaf. The shoot’s apical bud is covered by large stipules, which are partially fused to the petiole to form a sheath. Photo by Scott Zona CC BY-NC 2.0.

Well, would you look at that - travelling waves in cortex have the ingredients necessary to do credit assignment via the apical dendrites of L5 neurons! 😎

Sensory inputs trigger a fast-traveling wave, followed by a slower wave carrying top-down info (value/choice). The late wave reactivates ensembles in superficial cortical layers.
