What is this negative space in the brain between the hippocampus and diencephalon?

In a rodent sagittal section it seems like the hippocampus is in next to the thalamus but not continuous with it - there seems to be a space in between. It seems to be lined by endothelium? pia mater? Is it filled with CSF?

Reg the second picture - what is the route of the dura/arachnoid/pia in this juncture - between cortex and SC. Between SC/cerebellum - (midbrain/cerebellum) it is clear that there is a dural tenctorium. what happens in this wedge between the SC and cortex - there seems to be that the wedge extends all the way till the hippocampus.

I know it is not connected to the lateral ventricle.. but what is going on?

And if anyone has cut rodent sagittal (floating) sections you can usually that this region flips easily - and is not mechanically held to the underneath thalamus.

PS - ignore the red stain - its human serum stained on a rodent tissue - just posting that picutre as it usually stains everything.

Kids sifting through trash in Karakoy

Hi. Visiting Istanbul for the first time and we noticed a boy sifting through trash near the Karakoy tram station. We saw he was collecting leftovers and we offered him some takeaway that we had. He just threw the box in the trash 😂 so the kid was definitely not looking for something to eat! We then noticed that he was arranging leftover fruits from the trash on tissue paper. It was super confusing!

While returning on the other side of karakoy tram station we saw something very similar where a young girl was doing the same with McDonalds trash. But she was arranging a perfect tray of fries etc from the trash.

Are we missing something? These didn't seem like kids looking for something to eat or rag picking for recycling.

Indian national in UK - Turkey e-visa supporting document needs sharecode or old BRP?

Indian nationals with a UK residence are eligible for a Turkey e-visa. But the portal asks for a supporting document. The website looks archaic and I am not sure it can accept the e-visa sharecode. On the site it also mentions e-visa can not be supporting document. I have my older BRP. Can someone help - whats the best way ahead? Has anyone tried this route?

Came across this ruins of an old Portuguese Church built in 1579 over wikipedia

It says it is located within the SEEPZ Industrial Area, in Andheri - has anyone been here? Is it accesible to public? Worth visiting?

▲ 5 r/proteomics

I am planning to go for the big panels - Somascan 11k or OLink Explore HT (~5.3k) for my CSF samples. Somascan's menu is more accessible and gives detailed QC metrics for all their proteins - and has a good hit rate of my proteins of interest. OLink is a bit more opaque about the performance of sepcific proteins. I am also leaning more towards Somascan as it is larger and offers it as a service and charges per sample (instead of plate).

Apart from logistical advantages - why should anyone choose one over the other. Anyspecific downsides of somascan? Can the aptamer be reliably trusted to be specific? Anyone having any good/bad experince with CSF proteomics using these 2 methods?

Need to make a proper decision as it is quite some money!
