I just muted my first person on this platform. There are already enough white male 50-something South African/Canadian/Americans in my life, thank you very much.

This will be amongst the most important papers on olfaction and, frankly, “sensory” neuroscience.

Storytime! Please RT/share! I am hyped to share that my PhD work is now preprinted (also my 1st-1st author paper). It was quite a journey! https://t.co/dV6H4kIPPQ It’s a story about binge eating and flavor, a short thread here: 1/n
biorxiv.org
Binge eating commonly leads to overeating ([1][1]; [2][2]; [3][3]; [4][4]), but the exact mechanism is unclear. While it is known that experiencing flavor contributes to satiety, the interactions...

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
