Just out today: A single pair of neurons in the fly brain (Epione neurons for the goddess of soothing pain) functions in suppression of thermal nociception. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

So amazing to do a PCR test at home! And I like the results.

Great Dispatch in Current Biology by Tyler Sizemore and John Carlson on our paper on suppression of thermal pain in flies by heat activation of a single pair of neurons in the brain that release a pain suppressing neuropeptide.cell.com/current-biolog…

Amazing finding:

I am very excited to share the news that our study was just published today that reveals that thermal infrared is a new cue that mosquitoes use in combination with other cues to home in on people. The detection mechanism depends on TRPA1 and two opsins. nature.com/articles/s4158…

Fantastic work on mosquito taste from Lisa Baik, John Carlson and colleagues: nature.com/articles/s4158…

Here is a link to our latest paper demonstrating that olfaction in Drosophila can be regulated by light sensation by the antenna, and this depends on detection of UV or blue light by Cryptochrome in the antenna. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40395666/
