(1/n) Why is it so hard to stop eating when something tastes amazing? Our new @ScienceMagazine paper reveals that dopamine helps sustain our drive for tasty treats—and may explain how anti-obesity Ozempic tames those urges https://t.co/pXgG2RLfSd

During the execution of learned motor skills, the neural population in the layer 2/3 (L2/3) of the primary motor cortex (M1) expresses a reproducible spatiotemporal activity pattern. It is debated...

Our collaboration with @GoogleDeepMind has borne fruit! Or rather, a fruit fly 🪰🙂 Simulated with #MuJoCo physics, trained with imitation learning, capable of realistic locomotion, both on the ground and in the air. 1/n https://t.co/J8oB8zyezH

MuJoCo fruit fly body model and locomotion RL tasks - TuragaLab/flybody
🦟 By infusing a virtual fruit fly with artificial intelligence, @HHMIJanelia and @GoogleDeepMind scientists have created a computerized insect that can walk and fly just like the real thing. 🤖 🔗 https://t.co/N1IhU4Peo9

Part of my PhD work, looking at how brain circuits are organized to facilitate robust sensory processing, is out! We find feedforward excitation is combined with lateral disinhibition in visuo-motor networks to guide steering. Here’s a #tweeprint🧵(1/12)

Many animals rely on optic flow for navigation, using differences in eye image velocity to detect deviations from their intended direction of travel. However, asymmetries in image velocity between...

I am delighted to share our preprint led by Palka @PuriPalka. Our study of preprocessing of olfactory information in flies provides insight to general principles of sensory information processing in shallow neural architectures. https://t.co/OlLDEwcs7u 🪰 #tweetprint 👇🏽 1/

The mammalian brain implements sophisticated sensory processing algorithms along multilayered (‘deep’) neural-networks. Strategies that insects use to meet similar computational demands, while...

Flies sniff out the 'what' and 'where' of other flies. Now out https://t.co/UHzbjZducc. Lovely new recordings of neuronal responses to a freely-walking male confirm active contrast between two antennae allows flies to 'see' each other using smell. @CellCellPress @MRC_LMB 1/2
Sex pheromones are a great entry point to understand #brain #circuits. @istvan_taisz and I investigated how cVA, the canonical #Drosophila #pheromone, is processed to control social #behaviour – and how flies use cVA to “see” in the dark! https://t.co/75WbzXA2YU 1/14

Very interesting work!
1/ Story time! Can rats control their thoughts? Can they think about a remote place distant from their current location, just like we do?

My friend (An Wu, Komiyama lab, UCSD, tiny little Asian girl with so much energy) who went to Cosyne (Montreal) was missing after the old Montreal fire. Shout out to any cosyne participants who might have seen her in the recent two days. #cosyne23 @CosyneMeeting
@CBCMontreal My friend was in an Airbnb in the building. We cannot contact her now! Does anyone see an Asian female around there? Any info helps!

Excited to share this paper on Drosophila gravitaxis. years ago, we build a contraption that let us observe groups of flies walking on a tilted surface, over and over again. The trick is to sandwich an iris-like mechanism under a glass lid. https://t.co/lsXSG0iWoy
