🧵🚨The Konstanz Neuroethology swarm is coming to Berlin #icn2024berlin @neuroethology 🦋🐝🦗🪰🕷️🐟🐉 We will exclusively present posters, and spice it up with a treasure hunt🔍. Visit all posters (lineup👇), solve the riddle (see 🧵👇) and win a prize🏆!

Berlin is getting warmer. Just the right temperatures for locust invasion. Berlin, beware! #icn2024berlin @neuroethology PS2.185 The regulation of collective motion in desert locusts.

Hi #ICN2024 #neuroethology folks! I am hiring a postdoc! We study the neurobiology of ecologically relevant social behavior in honey bees. Looking for expertise in gene editing and other bioinformatics techniques. Come see my poster Thursday! PS2.128 employment.marquette.edu/postings/21269

🚨🔬 Paper alert! Are you interested in functional #calcium #imaging and how we managed to segment thousands of microglomeruli in the #locust antennal lobe? Check out #CalciSeg and our new paper: doi.org/10.1016/j.neur…

Episode #16 in #TheoreticalNeurosciencePodcast: On consciousness – with Christof Koch theoreticalneuroscience.no/thn16 How can a group of atoms, like me, feel? Thanks to pioneers like Christof, consciousness studies have now become a legitimate field of scientific inquiry.

We are happy to invite you to the symposium Early Steps in Fly Vision at our Institute! With distinguished speakers and a program packed with inspiring science, we hope to see many Drosophila enthusiasts & vision researchers! The symposium is free for everyone, no registration

#BonnBrain³ has been outstanding for three days! I am honored to be a part of such an illustrious speaker line-up. Already looking forward to the next iteration!

Come join us in Frankfurt this Sunday!

We describe how octopus-fish groups can work, can malfunction, and can lead to benefits! Give it a read and don't forget to see the videos for punching, displacements, and examples of solo vs collaborative hunting!! 🐙🐠🐟 Out in NatureEcoEvo!!

Big day for neuroscience & the end of the beginning for whole brain connectomics. Shout out to Sven Dorkenwald and Philipp Schlegel, first authors of the connectome papers, Murthy Lab Sebastian Seung for establishing #flywire to make this possible and Davi Bock for birthing this dataset.

I remember finding the first edition of this book in the Bristol University library during my Bachelor’s studies and being absolutely fascinated. A real honour to have the opportunity to contribute a chapter on bee polarization vision to the 3rd edition! link.springer.com/chapter/10.100…

My first bat paper! Out today in ⁦Science Magazine⁩ - led by the amazing Aya Goldshtein ⁦Centre for the Adv Study of Collective Behaviour⁩ ⁦Max Planck Society⁩ ⁦Universität Konstanz⁩ science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

We are excited to share our latest work on non-invasive 3D eye tracking and retinal view reconstruction in free-swimming fish, in collaboration with PREON7, Oliver Deussen, and Iain Couzin. Paper: rdcu.be/d3krE Code: github.com/preon7/free_fi…

Locust swarms call for a rewrite of the swarming rules. Take a look at our field, lab, VR and modeling study of locusts in Science Magazine ! youtu.be/oBJnY4HKmeY?si…

We are proud to present our new preprint “Correlative light and electron microscopy reveals the fine circuit structure underlying evidence accumulation in larval zebrafish”, just posted on bioRxiv (biorxiv.org/content/10.110…). (1/10)

A new Science #Robotics study describes BioPD—a control strategy that can mimic how zebrafish swim together and implement them in #autonomous #vehicles for coordinated movements. Iain Couzin scim.ag/435kWw9
