@GriffithFlyLab also punishing yourself with electric shocks?!

Been working with flies for a long time, didn’t think I would be surprised by anything flies did. But, wow..

Paper out!!! #Drosophila has muscles that attach to their retinas, which it uses to move its photoreceptor sheet in ways that resemble vertebrate eye movements @Nature nature.com/articles/s4158…

🚨 Our primer on two-photon calcium #imaging and my first publication from @BrandeisNeuro out today🚨 We wrote it with people in mind who are starting 🔬. Hope y'all will find it helpful #SeeingIsBelieving

Our lab @Brandeis (~Boston) now hiring a Research Tech. We study how flies/mosquitoes sense the world using molbio/genetics. Whether goal is PhD/MD program in ≥2 yrs (recent ex-techs in PhD (UC Berk.,UVM), MD/PhD (BU) programs) or long-term, contact us. brandeis.wd5.myworkdayjobs.com/Jobs/job/Brand…

How does multisensory learning improve memory performance, for even the individual sensory cues?
Zeynep Okray @z_okray, Pedro Jacob, Ciara Stern, Kieran Desmond, @_Nils_Otto_
and @paovargtz show how.

@karelsf Woah! This is awesome. It would be great to find if we can buy it.

Check this out @GriffithFlyLab - Leslie would totally want this if you could buy it

I designed another #LEGO set inspired by the "model" organisms of biological research! This time, it's the tiny but mighty fruit fly #Drosophila melanogaster, which researchers have used to study all manner of biological processes. 1/n

#JNeurosci: @Neuro_Mohamed et al. @BrandeisU developed a method to study memory formation in excised brains from Drosophila melanogaster. This method can reproduce the salient features of memory formation that have been identified in intact animals.

Lab's latest pub🍾!! Inversion of the response sign in a single olfactory neuron reverses olfactory preference behavior! Unexpected - we thought it was an artifact for the longest time. Congrats to all authors and esp Munzareen Khan for seeing this through! Preprint tweetorial 👇🏽

Context modulates valence of individual odorants in #Celegans: context-dependent engagement of distinct signaling pathways within a single sensory neuron type can switch #olfactory preference #behavior from attraction to aversion @SenguptaLab #PLOSBiology plos.io/3zBEfPl

Finally, the formation of PDP requires nighttime sleep, as 12-hour sleep deprivation at night blocks PDP formation in the next morning. However, even in the sleep deprived flies, a minimum of 2 hours of rest in the morning recovers the ability for PDP formation. (5/5)

PDP localizes in the mushroom body a'3 compartment, but increasing the intensity of the CS pathway electrical stimulation extends PDP to the a3 compartment as well. PDP also requires an intact 3'UTR of CaMKII mRNA, which is important for localizing CaMKII to the synapse. (4/5)

The final version of @Neuro_Mohamed’s paper is officially out. In an ex vivo model of Drosophila associative memory, pairing activation of the CS pathway with activation of the US pathway forms a pairing-dependent plasticity (PDP). (1/5) jneurosci.org/content/42/21/…
