How do brain circuits evolve? We started looking for some answers by using synapse-resolution cross-species comparative connectomics on an entire olfactory circuit 👇

Excited to be at Diamond Light Synchrotron imaging droso samples with @maikekittelmann.bsky.social. Experiencing a few bugs 🥁 but the tech teams and facilities here are incredible.

Sleep and Circadian Rhythm enthusiasts at University of Bristol please follow @uobscrh.bsky.social for hub updates and upcoming event info. Regarding social media preferences, it turns out you didn't opt for c) "I don't give a rats arse", so we made the switch to blue sky.

Wish this paper had been around when I was writing my PhD! Beautiful work 👏
Amidst all the terrible things, it's nice to have some good news - our paper on the architecture of fly taste circuits is published now! Led by Emory undergrad Sydney Walker and grad student Marco Peña Garcia.
