More with less: @UCSanDiego scientists in @ucsdbiosciences and @UCSDPhySci have proposed a solution for how flies use a simple but efficient method to recognize odors. The answer lies at the edges of their sensory systems. https://t.co/vxltRPR7AP @yahdef@SuLabUCSD@PuriPalka
The array of olfactory receptor neurons in flies is highly structured. Our collaborator Chih-Ying Su @SuLabUCSD showed previously that receptors are electrically coupled, a coupling that affects animal behavior.

Building the FlyWire #connectome from the FAFB brain was a massive team effort. But neuroscientists need to find their favourite neurons in this huge dataset. We report an indexed parts list, systematically annotating all 127k neurons (Schlegel et al https://t.co/1VaFlFWZVp) 1/7

Evolution of circadian behavioral plasticity through cis-regulatory divergence of a neuropeptide gene https://t.co/yRl2hTX2On
Today the lab was greeted by innocuous appearing white adapters plugged in lab bays and offices. We inquired and learned the university is monitoring 'occupancy', i.e. when we are/are not in. Be on the lookout! Big brother is watching!👀
Congratulations to Palka @PuriPalka for receiving the @UCSanDiego GPSA Interdisciplinary Research Award!
Pictured with Palka are Chih-Ying @SuLabUCSD and I looking and feeling very proud.
applications are due TOMORROW! MARCH 15TH! come spend the summer at cshl and learn everything about drosophila neurobiology! we've got an aamzing slate planned with a cavalcade of star faculty! don't miss out. RT and DM me with any q's! https://t.co/xMDVFT29ud
[1/11] @DavidTadres and I are excited to share new research https://t.co/fskxPEDSti where we show that olfactory sensory neurons undergo silencing due to depolarization block at ethologically relevant odor concentrations. #olfaction#chemosensation#behavior
So privileged to have Nick as my mentor and colleague 🥰

i still don't believe something until i can hold it in my hand (i'm a deeply distrusting individual). but our issue of @Dev_Cell with @lucas__restrepo's gamma secretase paper is finally here! hard copies! it's so pretty and i'm so proud of the authors and the artist @GAL4science!
Happy to share our newest work that is published online in @NeuroCellPress today! https://t.co/3Hkv3AwwVx
Great teamwork by @JungWooYang2 , Pablo Serrano, and @Xuming_Yin during the tough covid time. Also thanks to @Xiaochen_Sun_ and Yingxi Lin for sharing the NRAM virus with us!
