Last but certainly not least: A big thanks to the amazing team who made this review happen! @annette_schenck @mfenckova @BoonMarina @ReijmersdalB @KiraHoeffler

*Tick…Tock…Tick* Your brain is continuously filtering out irrelevant repetitive stimuli, such as the ticking of a clock, through a process called habituation, allowing you to focus on what really matters: our new review on this subject! 1/8 https://t.co/XvztuDkDTo

[Laura Blok @lerblok]

We conclude that habituation, as a conserved, cognition- and disease-relevant process, can connect preclinical and clinical work. It is a powerful tool to advance research, diagnostics, and treatment of neurodevelopmental syndromes. Have a look and join the habituation fan club!

We are hiring! Are you looking for a job as research technician in the Netherlands, and are highly motivated to contribute to better understanding and treating neurodevelopmental disorders using Drosophila as a model? Please apply!

Last chance to register for the "Intro to #DrugRepurposing for #RareDiseases" webinar on 21 Oct jointly organised by @EatrisEric, @radboudumc, @Telethonitalia, @fdmaladiesrares & @EJPRareDiseases. Dr Rick Thompson, CEO at @findacure_fdn, will be speaking: https://t.co/ovScaVLEFb

Very interesting talk during today's Research Integrity Round! Will definitely keep her advise in mind.

[Elisabeth Bik @MicrobiomDigest]

Looking forward to present the Research Integrity Round tomorrow, September 22, about image duplication, paper mills, predatory journals and fake conferences.

New results offer insight into why so many autistic people have unusual responses to sensory stimuli and sensory overload. https://t.co/xr43HUVo0M

Our large scale ‘habituation deficits in ID /ASD models’ paper is out in Biological Psychiatry. Terrific paper, thanks to @mfenckova for endless energy, to @ZoltanAsztalos5 and all collaborators!

"Caddisfly larvae build protective cases using materials found in their environment. Artist Hubert Duprat supplied them with gold leaf and precious stones. This is what they created."
