The brain is an “expensive” organ, when it comes to energy consultation!
Making memories is especially costly!
But energy is not only used to fuel brain, but also as instructive signal-
Here we review recent advances on this topic in #Drosophila@NSgammeglia@TrendsNeuro
Sensory neurons are more complicated than we though!
About one third of the taste neurons in Drosophila larvae senses more than one modality!

New and #OpenAccess in BiO today 👇
The Egger group @unifrBiology use a fluorescent oxygen sensor to monitor the hypoxic state of neural cells in the larval brain of #Drosophila: https://t.co/VDqBV2WGsp
"Two Pairs of Drosophila Central Brain Neurons Mediate Larval Navigational Strategies Based on Temporal Light Information Processing”
We here explain how the PTTH or NP394-neurons contribute to phototaxis!

Our third installment of the Glass Trilogy is now in bioRxiv! This time about the evolution of Glass and photoreceptor development. Unexpected results! Thanks to @simon_sprecher and @JekelyLab !
Also thanks to @jpcleland@carrie_adler and @_LBezares!

The input neuroarchitecture and neurochemistry of the central complex in insects that differ in locomotion, ways of orientation, time of activity and evolutionary history are highly conserved!
Is the function of these neurons conserved as well? https://t.co/ktBwim94i3
Can you see us? In the following nights, #ISS will be passing over Europe, visible as the brightest star moving over the night sky. And also, it is also the only one with humans inside https://t.co/D5UkuSO0Hw ⭐ #Horizons
The video interview for @unifr press release about our paper in @NatureComms. It is about visual coding of spatial and temporal information, which is used for #Drosophila larval light navigation supported by @ERC_Research https://t.co/1gBplyaKu3 @simon_sprecher https://t.co/YQw1nPCphj
So romantisch ihr Name, so störend ist für gewöhnlich ihre Anwesenheit: Die gemeine Fruchtfliege, auch Drosophila genannt. Beliebt ist die Tau (drosos) liebende (phila) Fliege nur in der Wissenschaft. #AlmaGeorges https://t.co/y0VWmkgMFQ #Unifr#FRhappy

As a first impression from the video interview for unicom @unifr's press release about our publication in @NatureComms. Use of time & space for larval navigation.

I am very excited & #FRhappy!
