🧠💤 Glia Regulate Sleep Through Brain Metabolism! A new study in Drosophila shows that glial cells monitor brain CO₂ and pH levels to regulate rest and sleep – revealing a key link between metabolism and sleep need. Activating glia can even induce rest in flies. 🪰🛌 (1/2)

Congratulations to our IMPRS doctoral researcher Andres Flores-Valle (@Androtics_es) who successfully defended his PhD thesis on sleep in #drosophila yesterday! You did a fantastic job, Dr. Flores-Valle!

@ObscureStuffOOC I'm glad it helped you @ObscureStuffOOC! I hope I can make more videos soon in the next months. For the face, you don't need to add it to the robot, it is just an add-on. Best of luck with your build!

First in-person @IMPRSBrainBehav PhD student retreat in 3 years! 😍 We’re excited to be in Heidelberg and looking forward to the science talks 👩‍💻👨‍🔬 #phd #neurotwitter

[Wanhe Li @xseedling]

lunchtime catch up reading this stunning research by @Androtics_es and Johannes Seelig (yes that Seelig and Jayaraman 2015) I heard at the central complex meeting: classic two process models, ensheating glia, fruit fly, sleep!!! @AlexCarlKeene

[Neurobiology of Flight Control @SchnellLab]

Also, please share - we got a PostDoc position available in beautiful majestic Bonn, for work with beautiful majestic flies, with a beautiful majestic two-photon microscope.

Congratulations to our group leader @SchnellLab who has been awarded a @ERC_Research Starting Grant to find out how even the tiny brains of fruit flies make decisions. We are looking forward to more fascinating Drosophila data!

@alsmoreira No, I use a Teensy 4.0 board for driving the servos and a lattepanda computer to send the motor commands

The fully 3D printed #DIY quadruped #Robot is now wireless, ready to do some navigation around the house

[Andres Flores-Valle 🇺🇦 @Androtics_es]

@meawoppl 😂 that was the original plan, but for some technical reasons I couldn't 🥲

[Andres Flores-Valle 🇺🇦 @Androtics_es]

@rosorg More info about the robot: it weighs 4.5Kg and uses hobby servomotors. It has a #lattepanda onboard computer which runs a custom #MPC controller embebed in #ROS (Robot Operating System). Follow for more updates on the robot 🤖

[Andres Flores-Valle 🇺🇦 @Androtics_es]

@scottmonaghan Thanks @scottmonaghan! Yes, ROS is integrated in the robot. You can take a look to the repository of the project:

@Jay0x5 Thanks @Jay0x5! I don't know of any tutorial, I just read papers of quadruped robots. You can take a look to the repository of my project (which is open source) if it helps:
