- Reposted by Edanur Şen AtıcıThe first paper from the lab is now out in Science Advances: Multimodal social context modulates larval behavior in Drosophila www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... We find that fly larvae keep their distance to conspecifics in the absence of food, enjoy reading! @cbehav.bsky.social @uni-konstanz.de
- Reposted by Edanur Şen AtıcıThrilled to share that our first study on the hippocampus’ role in helping behavior in mice is now published in @cp-cellreports.bsky.social! This work was driven by an amazing team in my lab, and marks an important milestone for more exciting studies to come! www.cell.com/cell-reports...

- Reposted by Edanur Şen AtıcıHow do our senses control movement? Janelle Pakan @linmd.bsky.social examines how sensory and motor neural circuits in the brain work together. Understanding these processes could revolutionize therapies for movement disorders like Parkinson's. 👉 www.leibniz-gemeinschaft.de/en/research/...
- Reposted by Edanur Şen AtıcıThe second paper from the lab is now available on bioRxiv: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6... We discovered that cannibalistic behavior in fly larvae is social-context dependent. Larval groups avoid dead conspecifics; individuals show high attraction. They only do it when no one is watching 😉
- Reposted by Edanur Şen AtıcıWhy do some worms graze on bacteria while others hunt and kill? Our study, published today in Nature, reveals how predatory aggression evolved in nematodes. Led by @gunizgozeeren.bsky.social and @leoboeger.bsky.social across the @jameslightfoot.bsky.social and @monikakscholz.bsky.social labs.

- Reposted by Edanur Şen AtıcıHow does the brain control locomotion? In our new preprint, we uncover a brain circuit in Drosophila that controls forward walking independently of turning. This dedicated locomotor circuit enables flexible motor control and might reflect a shared principle across species. doi.org/10.64898/202...

How does the brain learn to anchor its internal sense of direction to the outside world? 🧭 led by Mark Plitt @markplitt.bsky.social & Dan Turner-Evans, w/ Vivek Jayaraman: “Octopamine instructs head direction plasticity” www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

- Reposted by Edanur Şen AtıcıTextbooks said neurons don’t burn fatty acids for energy🤔. Our study delivers the first in vivo demonstration that fatty acid oxidation in defined memory neurons fuels memory formation. Closing chapter of my PhD 🥳, out today in Nature Metabolism💥 @natmetabolism.nature.com

- Reposted by Edanur Şen AtıcıThrilled to share our new paper! With @tomtom-auer.bsky.social team, we asked how #evolution reshapes what animals #eat to match their ecological niches. Using pan-neuronal Ca2+ imaging, we show that the changes are in how the brain processes #taste. Link @nature.com: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Props to all the trainees, especially Fio Lozada-Perdomo and Yuzhen Chen who did most of the work. Yuzhen is applying for PhD programs now and you'd be lucky to get her! www.cell.com/iscience/ful...
