Yay, it's finally out! This paper has been a long time in the making. The pandemic interfered with lab work in general, but especially live animal capture in the Chilean Andes plateau regions. doi.org/10.1152/jn.001…

Kicking off the new year with our new paper in nature! We find that touch-guided tongue control in mice relies on a collicular mechanosensorimotor map, analogous to collicular visuomotor maps associated with visually-guided orienting in many species. nature.com/articles/s4158…

#Ants hold a grudge – they remember who attacked them and fight back harder against those enemy colonies! Our new paper led by Bey Melanie is now published Current Biology sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Happy to share our new publication! We found that spiders have super sensitive olfaction! Male spiders use their legs as “nose” to sniff out partners. Olfaction with legs—Spiders use wall-pore sensilla for pheromone detection | PNAS pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

John Tuthill @casa_tuthill explains why practical summer courses in neuroscience matter and how this tradition helps researchers rekindle the unfettered joy that initially brought them to the field. thetransmitter.org/craft-and-care…

After a long wait, our paper is out! We show that differences in learning between the sexes are modulated by the NPY receptor, which gates sensory perception. Great work led by PhD student, soon to be Dr, Sonu Kurien with Rizwanul Haque & Asaf Gat nature.com/articles/s4146…

Calling all neuroscientists! 🧠 The MBL's 2025 Neural Systems & Behavior course is accepting applications until February 1. Don't miss your chance to apply! Read more: bit.ly/4jetcAc #ScienceStartsHere

Proud to share the Douglass lab latest work in Current Biology , which demonstrates that the optically transparent #neuroscience fish model Danionella is capable of performing visually and olfactory-mediated social affiliation behaviors, modulated by neuropeptide oxytocin!

This summer, the annual #CoNNExINS Symposium, cohosted w/ NYU Center for Neural Science, is June 5-6! If you are a senior #neuroscience grad student & would like to come spend 2 days presenting your research & network with the NYU neuroscience community🧠: Apply by April 4! wp.nyu.edu/connexins/

data analysis in systems neuroscience.

New paper in pnas led by VIKRAM PAL SINGH! We present an innovative head-mounted eye-tracking system to study vision in freely-moving NHPs. Results counter key assumptions in the field and opens the door to study the NHP visual brain in the real-world. pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

(1/3) Paper out in Current Biology! How do predators use their vision to both navigate through the terrain whilst tracking prey running for its life? Read our press release: mpinb.mpg.de/en/research-gr… Max Planck Florida Institute for Neuroscience BBO lab | small things on small heads Picture by Charles G. Summers, Jr.

Freely chasing mammals, collab with David Fitzpatrick, we show how eye movements enable ferrets to simultaneously navigate and chase fleeing objects Eye saccades align optic flow with retinal specializations during object pursuit in freely moving ferrets: cell.com/current-biolog…

✍️🧠🪰 New paper finally out! Neuroecology of alcohol risk and reward. Different neural pathways with opposite valence for the same odor are combined to balance attraction and aversion based on physiological state. Natural history of alcohol and the fly. science.org/doi/full/10.11…

In his new book, published today, Nachum Ulanovsky calls on the field to embrace naturalistic conditions and move away from overcontrolled experiments. thetransmitter.org/systems-neuros…

New episode!! 🎙️📣 A conversation w/ Tessa Montague about cephalopod camouflage. Cuttlefish and other cephalopods can change their appearance with lightning speed. What's going on in their skin and brains that makes this possible? Link: disi.org/the-cuttlefi...

65 years after Lettvin’s bug detector neurons in the frog retina, we revisit how the retina drives behavior—from reflexes to prey capture to brain-state modulation New review with Anna Vlasits & Serena Riccitelli in Annual Review of Vision Science 👇 tinyurl.com/ymp3vs4d
