can roaches be part of the solution to making neurophysiology, a typically very elite field, more accessible? in Arizona, @ulisesricoy.bsky.social & colleagues are using the critters to create low cost educational experiments also ft. @backyardbrains.bsky.social www.statnews.com/2024/12/10/c...
Researchers are betting on cockroaches as the cure to elitism in neuroscience
Cockroaches are a hardy pest, and often elicit disgust. But they do have a few things going for them: They are cheap, can be raised in a space as small as

The JOY I just felt in seeing this paper from the @drverpeut.bsky.social and @ulisesricoy.bsky.social labs about teaching ML/automated behavior tracking using cockroaches -- been wanting to do something like this with our students and feeling inspired now! 🪳 www.eneuro.org/content/earl...
Low-Cost Approaches in Neuroscience to Teach Machine Learning Using a Cockroach Model
In an effort to increase access to neuroscience education in underserved communities, we created an educational program that utilizes a simple task to measure place preference of the cockroach ( Gromp...
