New preprint! 🧠🧠🧠What does normal (non-disease) huntingtin do in a neuron? We knocked down htt in just 8 circadian pacemaker neurons (sLNvs) of the fly brain, small enough to isolate cell-autonomous effects from network effects. Please share! doi.org/10.64898/202...

Buenos Aires, we're coming to you! Join us at Fundacion Instituto leloir for an interactive workshop on how to explore and use cell type taxonomy data and tools from the Brain Knowledge Platform. 🎟️ Registration is free 🔗 https://bit.ly/4xBXKD1

Beautiful story highlighting science and community engagement 🦕🤝🇦🇷 In Argentina, the discovery of Bicharraco dionidei is revealing information for understanding the evolution of sauropods, especially important because, so far, has relied heavily on the fossil record from the Northern Hemisphere 🌎

Deeply honoured to have been awarded a Wellcome Trust Discovery Award to study how competition is encoded in the brain. This builds on the discoveries of outstanding past/present lab members. Grateful to mentors/collaborators/colleagues for their support. We are recruiting postdocs/PhD students.

We are hiring! We are looking for two PhD students interested in the regulation of habit formation. Habits are useful to decrease cognitive load, but carry the risk of becoming stereotyped and hard to control - it’s hard to shake a bad habit. The fruit fly Drosophila also forms habits and we […]

Interested in understanding how the brain makes decisions? Come and do a PhD with us! MIBTP @BBSRC funded #PhD opportunity. Please, get in touch with questions. www.findaphd.com/phds/project...

Thank you @katrinvogt.bsky.social for highlighting our work! Lovely piece

Katrin Vogt@katrinvogt.bsky.social · 2y ago

@crezaval.bsky.social The Rezaval lab showed that increasing dopamine levels make flies love blind towards the end of courtship - the Crickmore lab found that decreasing dopamine levels towards the end of mating allow for better temporal integration of threats.

The 7th edition is in place!. It wil be held in Marbella, Chile next year and will be again part of the EMBO workshop series. The organizers are @monicamsousa.bsky.social, Kassandra Ori-Mckenney and Tomas Falzone. Registration is already opened neurocytoskeleton.com/2025/
