Analysis methods for large-scale neuronal recordings

Simultaneous recordings from hundreds or thousands of neurons are becoming routine because of innovations in instrumentation, molecular tools, and data processing software. Such recordings can be...

BLUNDER alert! Do not accidentally recommend that your teenage children clean up spills at home, with KimWipes... They become merciless about how you name things after Kardashians in your lab !

Mating songs of Galápagos finches from a set of possible futures, played to territorial males, reveal links between adaptation and speciation. Check out our new study—led by Dr. Jeff Podos @UMassAmherst—in @sciencemagazine! ⬇️ Summary 🧵below! (1/10) science.org/doi/10.1126/scie…

Ecological speciation in Darwin’s finches: Ghosts of finches future

The theory of ecological speciation posits that adaptive divergence among incipient species raises incidental barriers to reproduction, thus catalyzing the emergence of new species. In this study, we...

Song "type" learning is happening in the auditory system at very young ages. Before the song sensitive period even opens! Proud of this work led by @katieschro8 .

New from @katieschro8 @HealeyLab in @J_Exp_Biol, report that in zebra finches, brain cells in forebrain auditory areas are already selectively tuned to conspecific song before the sensitive period Nice use of cross fostering w/Bengalese finches journals.biologists.com/jeb/…

Out now in @CurrentBiology, our new paper identifies an olfactory receptor that mediates male attraction to females, but enforces avoidance of parental care. A thread that leads to an unexpected twist in regulation of social behavior! cell.com/current-biology/ful…

A pheromone receptor in cichlid fish mediates attraction to females but inhibits male parental care

Li et al. discover that male cichlid fish use the olfactory receptor Or113a to detect fertile female cues. Surprisingly, Or113a also mediates males’ avoidance of parental care. In CRISPR-generated...
