Unforgettable forgotten memories - Nature Neuroscience
Memory is not always a faithful representation of past events; it can be lost, distorted or even fabricated. A new study provides insights into neural mechanisms that support the formation of true and...

Finally out in @natneuro.nature.com! A forgotten memory isn't always gone. We show that forgotten memories persist as silent memory traces, can be recovered by reminders, and can even be reconstructed into false memories. Excited to finally share this work! www.nature.com/articles/s41...
Creating true and false memories from forgotten information in Drosophila - Nature Neuroscience
Forgotten memories in Drosophila persist as silent memory traces and can be recovered by reminder cues. Manipulating reminders can create false memories, showing that memory reconstruction flexibly in...

Oliver Barnstedt@obarnstedt.bsky.social · last mo.14 years ago I went to FENS Forum in Barcelona to attend my very first scientific conference; fast-forward and I'm super excited to present to you part of my fantastic neuroscience research team in Göttingen. Do come by to say Hi and see what we've been up to recently! #fens2026
It is so much fun to be back in Würzburg to visit the university where I studied and fell in love with Drosophila!!! It was exciting to present the newest work from the lab and meet lots of old friends and new friends! @uni-wuerzburg.de @silkesachse.bsky.social
The 2026 CSHL fly neuro summer course kicks off tonight with the biggest bang! Course pioneers and titans of science Lily and Yuh Nun Jan are here to tell historical tales of Drosophila Neurobiology! What an absolute treat! #cshldros26

Marcus Stensmyr@marcusstensmyr.bsky.social · 3mo agoHere is a banger! Our new paper in @currentbiology.bsky.social is out! We have used museomics to sequence a 45yr old specimen of Drosophila enhydrobia, a rare and most unusual fly whose larvae are aquatic(!) and predatory(!). Very cool, big success. authors.elsevier.com/sd/article/S...
