First paper from our lab! Led by Emory graduate student Calvin Riiska, we found that skin microtextures remain intact in museum-preserved reptiles. Using this result, we found a new instance of convergent evolution in sidewinding! https://t.co/gTBWiBGYbI
Our newest preprint! Work led by Ben Dykstra (co-mentored by @gordonberman). Some of the first recordings from the iCA3 region during social behaviors. Ben found that iCA3 neurons more strongly represent social recognition information relative to iCA1 . https://t.co/clTiKtFR3T
My lab is seeking a research technician to study neural circuits & behavior in Drosophila 🪰🧠🧬🔬
Great opportunity for anyone looking to gain more experience before a PhD. Our recent techs have had independent projects and 1st author papers ✨

Emory Biology @emorycollege is hiring! We invite applications for a tenure track Asst Prof position in the area of epigenetics, including chromatin biology, nuclear organization, cellular differentiation, development, and/or gene regulation. Please share!
Check out the @BagotLab latest publication in @NatureNeuro featuring @esiyer and me! Here, we identify sex specific roles for nucleus accumbens afferents from the ventral hippocampus and medial prefrontal cortex in encoding aversive information. 1/12

So proud of @TanielWinner on her publication showing individual differences in gait dynamics signatures across walking speeds! A product of our collaboration with @gordonberman & @NeuromechanicsL catalyzed by a 'winning' #BME PhD student (now Doctor)!

Register now for Year 3 of our 5-day course on Machine Learning for Behavior!
Pose estimation, supervised behavior classification, unsupervised clustering (MotionMapper/Moseq), and analysis of behavior dynamics. Bar Harbor in fall is not bad either.

Why are power laws and heavy-tailed distributions so widespread in animal behavior? We show how behavioral plasticity might be the minimal necessary ingredient w/ M Vergassola @LP_ENS_, Gautam Sridhar @wyartlab@ClaireWyart https://t.co/NKe2SsboPV (thread below) 1/12
