More with less: @UCSanDiego scientists in @ucsdbiosciences and @UCSDPhySci have proposed a solution for how flies use a simple but efficient method to recognize odors. The answer lies at the edges of their sensory systems. today.ucsd.edu/story/detecti… @yahdef @SuLabUCSD @PuriPalka

The array of olfactory receptor neurons in flies is highly structured. Our collaborator Chih-Ying Su @SuLabUCSD showed previously that receptors are electrically coupled, a coupling that affects animal behavior.

Building the FlyWire #connectome from the FAFB brain was a massive team effort. But neuroscientists need to find their favourite neurons in this huge dataset. We report an indexed parts list, systematically annotating all 127k neurons (Schlegel et al biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…) 1/7

We are releasing a whole-brain connectome of the fruit fly, including ~130k annotated neurons and tens of millions of typed synapses!

Today the lab was greeted by innocuous appearing white adapters plugged in lab bays and offices. We inquired and learned the university is monitoring 'occupancy', i.e. when we are/are not in. Be on the lookout! Big brother is watching!👀

[1/11] @DavidTadres and I are excited to share new research doi.org/10.1126/sciadv.ade72… where we show that olfactory sensory neurons undergo silencing due to depolarization block at ethologically relevant odor concentrations. #olfaction #chemosensation #behavior

i still don't believe something until i can hold it in my hand (i'm a deeply distrusting individual). but our issue of @Dev_Cell with @lucas__restrepo's gamma secretase paper is finally here! hard copies! it's so pretty and i'm so proud of the authors and the artist @GAL4science!

Happy to share our newest work that is published online in @NeuroCellPress today! cell.com/neuron/fulltext/S08…
Great teamwork by @JungWooYang2 , Pablo Serrano, and @Xuming_Yin during the tough covid time. Also thanks to @Xiaochen_Sun_ and Yingxi Lin for sharing the NRAM virus with us!

It is generally accepted that fat tissues “talk” to the brain via secreted hormones. Our amazing student @yuwang, co-mentored by @liye_tsri, discovered that somatosensory neurons innervating adipose tissue act as a break to counteract sympathetic activity. nature.com/articles/s41586-0…

How does the brain differentially encode signals from the visceral organs to generate our internal senses? My postdoc paper @Nature reports the coding of organs by Ca imaging and reveals a visceral homunculus in the brainstem that depends on inhibition. nature.com/articles/s41586-0…
