Working with The Max Plank Institute for Biological Intelligence, @LabVallentin, we retrieved an accelerometer we deployed on a Nightingale on 9/1/2025. This valuable data allows us to research Nightingales singing patterns in their wintering territory. – at Gambia

~30 years of research in non-behaving animals argue that bilateral touch integration likely occurs downstream of primary somatosensory cortex. We reveal the state- and task-dependent logic that unlocks communication between S1s through the corpus callosum. nature.com/articles/s41593-0…

👂🦇 Our first bat paper is out! 🦇👂
How do bats tell navigation from social calls?
Led by fearless Dr. Jenni Lawlor, 2P imaging shows that the auditory midbrain encodes categorical primitives.
