A study of food hardness preference in #FruitFly larvae by @simon-sprecher.bsky.social &co reveals that gustatory organ sensory neurons can perceive cues of both chemical & mechanical stimulation 🧪 @plosbiology.org plos.io/3CEv5FJ

- To understand how brains do their amazing job, we ultimately need to know how they are wired up. This remains impossible in "large" brains, however FlyWire allows everyone to browse the fruit fly the connectome! Here my take on what makes this so impacting- www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

- Very cool work: interfere between classic and operant conditioning!
- 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! 🧵👇 science.org/doi/10.1126/...
- That’s it! We’re obsolete …. 😉
- Sunrise at the Lake of Gruyère; winter has arrived in Fribourg
- Some news about one of my favorite critters: Xenoturbella! A most complete version of its genome provides insight into a surprisingly „complex“ gene repertoire and molecular features- and raises questions on its phylogenetic position- Congrats to an exciting paper! elifesciences.org/digests/9494...
