Been working with flies for a long time, didn’t think I would be surprised by anything flies did. But, wow..
Paper out!!! #Drosophila has muscles that attach to their retinas, which it uses to move its photoreceptor sheet in ways that resemble vertebrate eye movements @Nature nature.com/articles/s41586-0…

Our lab @Brandeis (~Boston) now hiring a Research Tech. We study how flies/mosquitoes sense the world using molbio/genetics. Whether goal is PhD/MD program in ≥2 yrs (recent ex-techs in PhD (UC Berk.,UVM), MD/PhD (BU) programs) or long-term, contact us. brandeis.wd5.myworkdayjobs.c…

How does multisensory learning improve memory performance, for even the individual sensory cues?
Zeynep Okray @z_okray, Pedro Jacob, Ciara Stern, Kieran Desmond, @_Nils_Otto_
and @paovargtz show how.

#JNeurosci: @Neuro_Mohamed et al. @BrandeisU developed a method to study memory formation in excised brains from Drosophila melanogaster. This method can reproduce the salient features of memory formation that have been identified in intact animals.

Lab's latest pub🍾!! Inversion of the response sign in a single olfactory neuron reverses olfactory preference behavior! Unexpected - we thought it was an artifact for the longest time. Congrats to all authors and esp Munzareen Khan for seeing this through! Preprint tweetorial 👇🏽
Context modulates valence of individual odorants in #Celegans: context-dependent engagement of distinct signaling pathways within a single sensory neuron type can switch #olfactory preference #behavior from attraction to aversion @SenguptaLab #PLOSBiology plos.io/3zBEfPl

Happy to share our new preprint describing the features underlying robustness of reciprocally inhibitory circuits to alterations in circuit parameters, temperature, and neuromodulation. @MarderLab biorxiv.org/cgi/content/shor…

Really elegant work from @GjorJulijana and Co exploring activity-dependent rules for early cortical refinement! (also, what a beautiful illustration)
Many of us study how neural activity shapes circuit connectivity through synaptic plasticity mechanisms. In recent work we explored how two different types of spontaneous activity (generated in early development) organize connectivity in the visual cortex. elifesciences.org/articles/6…
ALT Spontaneous activity drives the maturation of synaptic connectivity during brain development. Thanks to Katya Morozova for this illustration.

It is very exciting to share our recent finding that flies can generate a long-lasting avoidance of multiple sequential sensory stimuli experienced in a threatening event, i.e. the electric shock-paired odor (CS+) and unpaired odor (CS–). Such...

Neurons of the same type can have wildly different mean firing rates. New paper from Nick @NFTrojanowski and Juliet (@JBottt) begins to explain how this fundamental aspect of cellular identity arises!
