Thank you Natalia Mesa at the @thetransmitter.bsky.social for highlighting our labs preprint on synaptic mechanisms of head direction learning!! 🪰🧭 Work from @markplitt.bsky.social in my lab in collaboration with the Jayaraman lab! www.thetransmitter.org/learning-and...

Unique learning mechanism drives navigation in fruit flies

The neuromodulator octopamine, the insect counterpart to norepinephrine, helps flies get their bearings in an unfamiliar environment.

"The smallest organisms may hold the biggest answers." Here, two new studies on the fruit fly connectome led by Tuthill, Brunton, and Bidaye address the mechanisms underlying walking. It's well summarized by a piece in the Transmitter: www.thetransmitter.org/systems-neur...

Long-sought walking circuit found in fruit flies

The neuronal circuit controlling repetitive locomotion patterns in any animal has been a mystery until now.

New preprint from the lab, led by Bradley Cutler. With the @james-gagnon.bsky.social lab we use zebrafish to show that fever is not a reduction in the perception of warmth. Immune signals instead increase the valence of warming stimuli while cooling turns aversive. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Our recent work covered in this cool piece by @natmesanash.bsky.social @thetransmitter.bsky.social . Thanks for using our videos!

Researchers have long searched for the neural circuit underlying locomotion. Now they’ve found it in flies. By @natmesanash.bsky.social #neuroskyence www.thetransmitter.org/systems-neur...

Here’s our latest preprint on uncovering neural control of a coordinated walking pattern! doi.org/10.64898/202... (author-list jumbled, see pdf for corrected). Video shows the central paradigm in this study, we optogenetically induce walking in headless flies and sequentially reduce proprioception.

Max Planck PhD program deadline on Dec 1. I’m hiring through this. Shoot a DM if you have any questions.
