Some great papers in here! Good primers on this emerging area
An amazing collection of brain-body interaction articles in this special issue. Love the beautiful vagus nerve on the cover by Andreas Vesalius https://t.co/K1El0JuJDX

New essay in @CurrentBiology special brain-body issue!š§ āļøš« Fly lab meets psychiatrist: how bodily signals shape cognition and mental health. Great collaboration with Albino J. Oliveira-Maia showing @ChampalimaudF discovery scienceāļø clinic at its best.
cell.com
Carlos Ribeiro and Albino Oliveira-Maia propose how brainābody interactions may inform the study of āhigherā cognitive functions such as learning and memory across model systems.

100% agree with @DavidAMarkowitz 's vision. But I would be much more specific in the lesson learned from the fly connectome revolution: we need to generate a *dense axonal projectome of the primate brain* NOW. This will give us the key sine qua non puzzle pieces to figure out
We're at the threshold of understanding intelligence itself. The convergence of neuroscience and AI has created an unprecedented opportunity ā but our research ecosystem isn't built to seize it. We need a new model that matches the scale of our ambition... š§µ

Fantastic time with students and postdocs of the @Cajal_Training #Brain Prize Motor School, @LoraBSweeney @GattoGraziana recording and modeling motor activity from locusts, frogs, mice, zebrafish... what a fun crew !

Time for science! This is a paper I loved for a couple reasons. 1) It gives a clear explanation for how noisy and antagonist neuropeptide signals ultimately determine satiety. 2) I think the tools and approach might be the future of systems neuro https://t.co/eZSWcPfcWt

I'll be talking with Mala Murthy and Sebastian Seung (@SebastianSeung) next week about flywire. You can register below. It's 30 min discussion followed by Q&A. Mala and Sebastian are brilliant and I hope you tune in. I am there just to ask questions :) https://t.co/09226udglc

SfN has too many best moments: Cori and Gerry received Gruber prize. āEach circuit is many circuitsā āThese colleagues also taught me about leadership, which is important for scienceā. ā¤ļøā¤ļøā¤ļøā¤ļøā¤ļø@betenoire1

The 2024 #NobelPrize in Physiology or Medicine focuses on the discovery of a vital regulatory mechanism used in cells to control gene activity. Genetic information flows from DNA to messenger RNA (mRNA), via a process called transcription, and then on to the cellular machinery

Finally the official arrival of the SEZ into the connectome world with some additional fly neurons around it. Congratulation to everybody who participated. This has been a lot of fun. And so much more to come! #collaborationsmovescienceforward
Here it is! A huge milestone in neuroscience ā the complete connectome of the fly brain from the FlyWire team (@FlyWireNews). In this special issue, we have 9 research articles. Iāll try to summarize them in a couple threads starting here š§µ

Nature - Two halting mechanisms, āwalk-OFFā and ābrakeā, are shown to be engaged by distinct neural circuits in Drosophila, in a context dependent manner.
My lab's first paper is now out @Nature
https://t.co/6DTdzMUW5A Check out the cool new data since the preprint work I described a while back. Excited to have this alongside the other @FlyWireNews connectome papers. Grateful to the team! @NehaSapakal @DivyaSthanu @NinoMancini_

Sex or survivalāwhatās more important? Excited to share our @Nature paper on how flies resolve this conflict. We found a dopamine-based filter that reduces threat perception, helping flies focus on courtship when close to mating. https://t.co/ZZ0UoKTqgn

Nature - A state-dependent dopamine filter system in the male Drosophila brain balances threat perception against the drive to mate.
