My latest work on characterizing neural responses in the pallium of freely swimming weakly electric fish!

My latest article on characterizing activity in a hippocampus-like region of fish brain using wireless recordings in freely swimming electric fish! doi.org/10.7554/eLife.… eLife - the journal

1/2 Excited to release a new study on what determines the outcome of ambush predation. We collected high speed video of dragonfly larvae with their somewhat terrifying labial mask, hunting larval zebrafish. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

So happy to share our new work on modeling naturalistic larval zebrafish behavior! See our approach, data, and models in the videos in this thread. We capture multiple timescales of structure in our behavioral simulations, from prey responses to hunger-related behavioral changes.

Congratulations Yu Mu Yu Mu, Davis Bennett @davisvbennett, Mika Rubinov @rubinovlab, Sujatha Narayan Sujatha Narayan, and collaborators. It has been a wonderful, exciting scientific journey.

We have postdoc openings. Experimental & computational neuroscience, whole-brain imaging & analysis of distributed computations for behavior. Neuronal & astrocyte networks underlying brain states. Get in touch if interested & spread the word! ahrenslab.org HHMI | Janelia

Somehow this question is on our minds more than ever these days : knowledge vs understanding... Amazing lecture by Gilles Laurent at the MBL

Congratulations Iris Odstrcil from our lab on her amazing paper on functional and ultrastructural analysis of reafferent mechanosensation in larval zebrafish!

1) We just uploaded the results from our latest foray into social interactions in larval zebrafish to BioRxiv. biorxiv.org/content/10.110… This is a story led by Roy Harpaz (Roy Harpaz) and Minh Nguyen Nguyet, with critical assists from Armin Bahl (Armin Bahl).

Thanks so much MCB_Harvard for the spotlight. I am so lucky to have been a member of such amazing, supportive department and the Florian Engert 😊

Dingal Lab on Biological Signal Processing will open on Jan 2022 at UT Dallas Bioengineering_UTDallas w/ fully funded positions for creative, motivated students to study the structure and function of signaling proteins in vitro and in vivo! Come to Diverse Dallas!

Apply for this amazing fellowship!

Here is a fun Bloomberg "Hello World" Video that just got released. It's about the connectomics efforts of the Lichtman and Engert labs. youtube.com/watch?v=OAWISb…

Awesome video featuring research from my former postdoc lab Florian Engert

"We're making history by building synthetic biological micro-robots, & finding ways to control their movement by understanding how cellular composition, ultrastructure, & activity contribute to generation of macro-scale behaviors." -Haleh Fotowat & Tiffany Lin #WomensHistoryMonth

Excited to share the preprint of the work I did Florian Engert investigating the neural circuits underlying habituation of visually evoked escape behaviors in larval zebrafish biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

doi.org/10.7554/eLife.… eLife - the journal I am excited to share my latest paper from the work I did in the Florian Engert on habituation of looming-evoked escapes!

Thanks MCB_Harvard for featuring my latest paper!

I am so excited to share this preprint, the work I did with Michael Levin and a great team on discovering how nervous systems self-organize in completely novel motile bodies. It has been such a beautiful scientific journey and I can’t wait for the next steps!
