This week on the #ISpyPhysiology blog, APS member Dr. Jessica Whitaker-Fornek discusses how artificial light (such as street lights) affects birds' brains: ow.ly/JsrZ50Shhqs




Hot off the press from Team Bird Brain ISU Biology! 🐣🐤🧠🔬We describe chloride's role in the pH sensitivity and plasticity of brainstem breathing rhythms ISDP 🦋 @isdp.org.bsky.social 🐤🐣🧠onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/de…


My first #inrc2024 has been great so far with Erica Levitt See the pics for some highlights so far: my poster and opioid mechs in breathing session! 🧠🫁🐁🐟


Another great INRCworld in the books #inrc2024. Thanks Emily Jutkiewicz for the lovely time at Michigan News and the smooth organization. Thanks to all speakers and poster presenters for sharing their science. Looking forward to getting together again in Bologna, Italy.

Come be a part of our stellar lab team! Erica Levitt Umich Pharmacology I have had the best time being a postdoc studying breathing control circuits 🫁🧠🐭

The application for summer 2025 Grass Fellowships is now live at grassfoundation.org/fellowship-ove…! Applications are due November 15. Please share with promising early-career neuroscientists. The Fellowship provides 14 weeks of sponsored research support at Marine Biological Laboratory (MBL) in Woods Hole, MA.





Even small birds fly high. Research presented at #APS2025 shows tiny migratory birds have big hypoxia tolerance. Check it out: lifelinesblog.com/2025/04/25/eve… American Physiological Society APS Comparative and Evolutionary Physiology #animals #birds #migration #science #exercise
