I'm thrilled to be opening my own lab this Fall at the @maxplanck.de MPI for Brain Research in Frankfurt. The lab is going to investigate the neuronal and genetic underpinnings of behavioral evolution. We are hiring on all levels. Don't hesitate to share widely and reach out if interested.

Our story about flies on carousels is out in @currentbiology.bsky.social! After formally engaging the fantastic @clarahowcroft.bsky.social and integrating helpful reviewer feedback, we present a more concise story with detailed behavioural quantification and cooler videos! doi.org/10.1016/j.cu...

We have a new PhD position available; please spread the word and repost.
The project will combine retina recordings, computational modeling, and optogenetics to help further develop vision restoration therapy.

1/ How do animals integrate different forms of learning? Our
@eyalrozenfeld.bsky.social new study in Science Advances
shows that active mechanisms prevent the co-formation of competing memories. Here’s what we found! 🧵👇

Early vision Neuroscience community, Vol 1

We are talking eyes, retinas, and some of the more ancestral bits of visual brains. No species restrictions. List is close to full, will start building Vol 2 before too long

FlyWire #Neuroscience data (green) is now in neuronbridge.janelia.org for matching against #Drosophila light #microscopy data (magenta). Thanks to Cristian Goina, Hideo Otsuna, Rob Svirskas, Konrad Rokicki. See a match in the browser, using mixed surface / volume rendering implemented with #threejs.
