New preprint! 🪰 We explore how flies make rapid evasive turns during flight. Our study on DNp03, a neuron linking visual input to motor output, offers insights into how the fly brain initiates this important behavior. biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/… #Neuroscience #Drosophila

Sustained activity in a descending neuron is associated with flight saccades in Drosophila

Flies perform rapid turns termed saccades to change direction during flight. Evasive turns can be elicited by looming stimuli mimicking an approaching object such as a potential predator. Whereas...

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/s41586-0…

More evidence that processing of sensory information is likely to be tuned to behavioral context: New @iScience_CP paper now out by our @SchnellLab on how multiple mechanisms mediate the suppression of motion vision during escape maneuvers in drosophila. doi.org/10.1016/j.isci.2022.…

The work focuses on investigating the neural mechanisms underlying flight control in Drosophila, with a focus on descending neurons.

First paper from the lab just got published! cell.com/iscience/fulltext/S… I heard @PhilippeFische6 is on parental leave, so he has a bunch of free time to answer questions??

📢PAPER ALERT📢 Our PhD student @scidanm and our co-speaker Heinz Beck have a paper to share! Together with first author @BraganzaOliver and co-author @tonykellyEU, they explain how "quantitative properties of a feedback circuit predict frequency-dependent pattern separation".

How about a postprint for a change? Our paper about frequency dependent pattern separation is out in @eLife. Congratulations to first author @BraganzaOliver. With @tonykellyEU and Heinz Beck. elifesciences.org/articles/5…
