Dr. Alexandre Dumoulin’s 48-hour time-lapse video of developing neurons connecting to the opposite side of the central nervous system in a chick embryo won first place in the 2023 Nikon Small World in Motion Video Competition. Developed at the University of Zurich, Dumoulin’s video plays a significant role in understanding the potential deviations in neurodevelopmental disorders that occur in the central nervous system, such as autism spectrum disorder and schizophrenia.
