Grateful to the care and sensitivity of KPBS reporter Tom Fudge @TFudgeSD. He is very much interested in the biology and was able to pack so much in a 2-minute story. Now I know why I have been a fan of PBS. BTW, Hui-Hao Lin is in the job market.

Hormone DH-31 puts fruit flies in the mood for love. @UCSanDiego Professor @jing8wang is featured in a @KPBSnews story by @TFudgeSD discussing recent research on the discovery of a feeding-to-mating switch in fruit flies.youtu.be/qWlITzgT8Ys via @YouTube

We genuinely appreciate the professionalism and care of the editors. The reviewers also helped us sharpening the messages.

Really enjoyed this one. Protein rich foods act as a sort of “aphrodisiac” (debatable but I only have so many characters here). The paper goes on to show the hormonal and neural pathways involved in this state switch

Press release by @ucsdbiosciences on our work on the role of gut-to-brain communication in feeding and non-feeding behavior.
9 Feb 2022
Just in time for #ValentinesDay, @UCSanDiego scientists have identified a molecule released from the fruit fly gut that switches their focus from eating to courtship. The "Dh31" discovery opens the door to unexplored areas of gut-to-brain communication. go.ucsd.edu/3GRfGhH

3. Dh31, a neuropeptide released by the gut in response to amino acids, reaches the brain via the circulatory system.
4. In the brain, Dh31 activates two populations of Dh31 receptor-expressing neurons to terminate feeding and initiate courtship.

5. We think this kind of hierarchical organization of motivational systems ensures animals do not become Buridan's donkey.

Two-author paper (rare these days) on how hormone regulates learning in an age-dependent manner. Specifically, spontaneous activity in the mushroom body is bad for learning and its suppression by juvenile hormone improves learning in older flies.

Is Mandarin going to be banned for national security reason?

Millions of Chinese in the USA use the WeChat app to communicate with friends and family back home. Just this week my MiL was hospitalized following complications of surgery. WeChat allowed my DW to talk to her brother & mom through it all. Is this a threat to national security?

Today my lab at @UCSDNeuro opens.. The day started, naturally, with breakfast at Abu Hassan in Yafo.
Things are up and running, remotely for now.
Students at UCSD or prospective students interested in theoretical neuroscience, please get in touch!

Besides the more colourful birds that returned in the last couple of days, the Grackles did not want to be left out of the picture either. Love those eyes!! #Grackles #birdwatching #birdphotography
