What makes one member of the species behave differently from another? It's a core problem in behavioural #neuroscience. This valuable study seeks an answer for the specific case of the fruit fly expressing preferences for one odour over another. elifesciences.org/articles/90511…

Excited to share new work from my lab, where we image visual brain areas in behaving zebrafish larvae to see how sensory information is converted into hunting, freezing, or escape behaviors; pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

🧵 PCA is everywhere in bioinformatics—but did you know it’s just SVD in disguise? 1/ If you've done bioinformatics, you've likely used PCA. But did you know Singular Value Decomposition (SVD) is at its core? Let’s break it down. 👇
