Inspired by discussions at several recent foraging-related seminar series and conferences, our review in @cp-trendsneuro.bsky.social explores an expanded role for foraging as a framework in neuroscience and discusses future directions for the field. Do check it out.

Years ago @lauragrima.bsky.social talked about what a pity it is when scientists who work on #foraging miss out on fruitful interactions because they work with different animals. Together with collegues we started a virtual seminar series, which grew into a conference and now a review!

If you want to hear about more like this, come join us at the University of Birmingham for ‘The Mechanistic Basis of Foraging’ conference. Registration closes 20th October!

Really excited to share a review I contributed to, out now in @cp-trendsneuro.bsky.social. We explore how foraging can offer a framework for studying brain and behaviour in natural contexts. It’s been a pleasure working with colleagues across species and disciplines on this. Check it out! 👇

Early bird registration for "The Mechanistic Basis of Foraging 2025" conference ends on 30th September!

This meeting provides a multidisciplinary perspective on the neural, behavioural and computational mechanisms of foraging across species.
