[Real Houseflies of Brandeis @GriffithFlyLab]

Congratulations to @Neuro_Mohamed on defending your thesis and your last day in the Griffith Lab! We are so proud of all you've accomplished and you will be missed greatly!

[Real Houseflies of Brandeis @GriffithFlyLab]

A new paper from our lab is out!

Been working with flies for a long time, didn’t think I would be surprised by anything flies did. But, wow..

New review paper from the @MarderLab! Latest insights from small rhythmic neural circuits on individual variability, resilience and neuromodulation of neurons and neural networks. https://t.co/ntc5K6c6FR

Our lab @Brandeis (~Boston) now hiring a Research Tech. We study how flies/mosquitoes sense the world using molbio/genetics. Whether goal is PhD/MD program in ≥2 yrs (recent ex-techs in PhD (UC Berk.,UVM), MD/PhD (BU) programs) or long-term, contact us. https://t.co/abuWSKe8e0

How does multisensory learning improve memory performance, for even the individual sensory cues?
Zeynep Okray @z_okray, Pedro Jacob, Ciara Stern, Kieran Desmond, @_Nils_Otto_
and @paovargtz show how.

@karelsf Woah! This is awesome. It would be great to find if we can buy it.

[Real Houseflies of Brandeis @GriffithFlyLab]

The Katz lab in Brandeis University is looking for postdocs, see the ad for more details. P.S. we are looking for postdocs as well!

[Katz Lab @BlechLab]

The Katz Lab is looking for postdoctoral researchers!

#JNeurosci: @Neuro_Mohamed et al. @BrandeisU developed a method to study memory formation in excised brains from Drosophila melanogaster. This method can reproduce the salient features of memory formation that have been identified in intact animals.

Lab's latest pub🍾!! Inversion of the response sign in a single olfactory neuron reverses olfactory preference behavior! Unexpected - we thought it was an artifact for the longest time. Congrats to all authors and esp Munzareen Khan for seeing this through! Preprint tweetorial 👇🏽

Finally, the formation of PDP requires nighttime sleep, as 12-hour sleep deprivation at night blocks PDP formation in the next morning. However, even in the sleep deprived flies, a minimum of 2 hours of rest in the morning recovers the ability for PDP formation. (5/5)

The final version of @Neuro_Mohamed’s paper is officially out. In an ex vivo model of Drosophila associative memory, pairing activation of the CS pathway with activation of the US pathway forms a pairing-dependent plasticity (PDP). (1/5) https://t.co/FlRM8nOrlm

PDP localizes in the mushroom body a'3 compartment, but increasing the intensity of the CS pathway electrical stimulation extends PDP to the a3 compartment as well. PDP also requires an intact 3'UTR of CaMKII mRNA, which is important for localizing CaMKII to the synapse. (4/5)
