Tech opening in our lab at Princeton! Mosquitoes, behavior, genomics, neuroscience, evolution. Great for someone with college research experience exploring interests for future directions. For more info: tinyurl.com/McBrideLabResT… Please RT.

Excited to release this new pre-print (biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh…)🎉  In a complex visual environment, how do flies (like below) know what to focus on? We uncovered neuronal pathways through which social states (like aggression🥊 and courtship) modulate visual processing. 1/

I am excited to share that our preprint “Nutritional state-dependent modulation of Insulin-Producing Cells in Drosophila” is now available on BioRxiv. A thread🧵 biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

We're hiring a research technician! Great research opportunity before applying to neuroscience or related PhDs. We study auditory processing in flies and this position will learn calcium imaging + analysis. Join us! jobs.ncsu.edu/postings/201685 christabakerlab.com

In 2019 I went to Cambridge to debate Máté Lengyel on the usefulness of Marr's Three Levels of Analysis. We've finally published a pair of "CrossTalk" articles in Journal of Physiology laying out our positions. My piece: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/share/author/Y… #MarrNoMore #DownWithThe3Levels

Can you predict the activity of INDIVIDUAL NEURONS without recording them? Hint: the answer is YES Benjamin Cowley Nivedita R Elise Ireland @MaxwellHTurner Jonathan Pillow Murthy Lab nature.com/articles/s4158…

Happy to highlight a paper from Benjamin Cowley Jonathan Pillow Murthy Lab showing how one can use artificial neural networks to dissect the mechanisms of complex neural circuits - in this case visual circuits used by the fruit fly to find a mate! Nature News & Views nature.com/articles/d4158…

Our study by Jonas Braun Femke Hurtak Sibo Wang-Chen @wangchen.bsky.social revealing that brain descending neurons form interconnected networks to coordinate motor control is now out in nature nature.com/articles/s4158… EPFL EPFL Life Sciences EPFL Brain Mind Institute NeurosciencePhD_EPFL EPFL Institute of Bioengineering

Thrilled to share this story at #icn2024berlin @neuroethology Catch me at Poster PS1.087 to dive into our latest findings published in eLife - the journal! "Nutritional state-dependent modulation of Insulin-Producing Cells in Drosophila" doi.org/10.7554/eLife.…

Sex or survival—what’s more important? Excited to share our nature paper on how flies resolve this conflict. We found a dopamine-based filter that reduces threat perception, helping flies focus on courtship when close to mating. nature.com/articles/s4158…

The life strategies of #parasitoids are stunningly diverse, but no wasps that attack and develop inside adult flies have ever been described. Our article describes the first one. Its hosts: Drosophila melanogaster and other species of #Drosophila #Entomology #Braconidae

Are #Drosophila accessory medulla neurons oscillating coherently? Check out our preprint Neuronal Synchronization in Drosophila, featuring DUAL patch clamp recordings from the great Florencia Fernández Chiappe and the impeccable theory by oscillation experts Marcos Wappner y Luis Morelli (1/7)

Finishing your PhD and interested in the Physics of Life? This is a reminder that we have several different postdoctoral opportunities. We coordinate, but best to apply to all that seem relevant. Please consider joining our lively and interactive community. Deadlines soon!

I'm thrilled to share this story! Flies tend to aggregate, as I’m sure you have experienced in your kitchen. They lay eggs around the same places and form clusters even in the absence of food. But, what happens when they meet other flies for the first time? ...

Thus, a center for learning and memory seems to play a fundamental role in establishing the basis for most social interactions. I hope you enjoy it! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
