A comic of two foxes, one of whom is blue, the other is green. In this one, Blue and Green are sitting with their backs facing each other, both deep in their own thoughts. Blue turns to listen as Green turns to look at him over his shoulder. Green: Did I just say that out loud? Blue frowns in confusion. Blue: ...No? Green turns back around, seeming relieved. Blue continues to stare at him, deeply baffled and suspicious. Green: Oh, thank goodness.

Flies keep their vision razor-sharp even at top speed: we found their synapses “jump” into higher frequencies during saccades, wiping out delays and boosting acuity. This self-sharpening trick shows how brains sync perception with rapid behaviour.

Synaptic high-frequency jumping synchronises vision to high-speed behaviour
During high-speed behaviour, animals must predict, detect, process, and respond synchronously to rapid environmental changes, including those caused by their own movements. How neural systems achieve ...

Exciting new venue for publishing these close replications!! Woohoo! Love this idea and project, Kate!

#ABS2025 #BreakingNews
"REPLICATION STUDIES" New section of the journal! Only publish close replications Short-format (2-3,000 words) Minimal intro needed Only highlight deviations from original study Low barrier to writing Streamlined peer review Behavioral Ecology

Our lab’s latest review is finally out! 🧪🧠
It’s been a long time coming, so please enjoy it 😎
Learn how structural changes and tiny neural movements can help enhance the sensing & behaviour of animals beyond what we might expect is possible…
