Desert #locusts can form disastrous #swarms, threatening the food security of millions. In our new @NatureComms paper, we show how their olfactory system adapts to crowded conditions.
Here is a breakdown:

A study from @DanielKronauer's lab has revealed a new form of olfaction gene regulation that may be broadly shared across insect species—opening up a new window into studying connections between genes and social behaviors. Read a Q&A with the scientists:

🚨🦗 Virtual reality experiments revealed that a minimal cognitive framework - and not explicit neighbor alignment - drives collective motion, rewriting the rules of swarm behavior!

Locust swarms call for a rewrite of the swarming rules. Take a look at our field, lab, VR and modeling study of locusts in @ScienceMagazine ! https://t.co/w790sd8g4J
Postdoc Fellow Opportunity‼️ Looking for a PhD in freely moving ephys to apply for this amazing Postdoc Fellows program to do wireless triple neuropixel ephys in the Agouti in the rainforests of Panama! Lets figure out what the brain does in nature 🔔please RT!
An exciting week of neuroscience started in Pristina #NeuroKosovo2024 Summer School for Behavioral Neuroscience organized by @UniKonstanz@CBehav professor and students
Already found some hints at #icn2024berlin? There is still a chance to win prizes at our treasure hunt! ✨🎁
So come and say hi at today's poster session. You find me at poster number 160! 🦗💫
🚨🔬 Paper alert!
Are you interested in functional #calcium#imaging and how we managed to segment thousands of microglomeruli in the #locust antennal lobe?
