So excited for this! Can't wait to see everyone there!
We're looking forward to the first annual New York Memory Hub conference later this week! Can't wait for all the talks and discussion about all things learning and memory 🧠

Ed Yong’s book AN IMMENSE WORLD, which is all about animals and their senses, was revelatory for me in talking about how what we define as a problem depends entirely on what environment we’ve chosen to set up for people to navigate.

We are currently repeating key experiments of our multisensory learning study. We have communicated with the journal and will correct literature as necessary and as soon as possible. Please get in touch if this impacts your work. Thanks to those that raised a flag. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37100911/
Multisensory learning binds neurons into a cross-modal memory engram - PubMed
Associating multiple sensory cues with objects and experience is a fundamental brain process that improves object recognition and memory performance. However, neural mechanisms that bind sensory featu...

Excited to announce our new pre-print (www.biorxiv.org/cgi/content/...)!
This collaborative work (co-led by Adriane Otopalik and Gerry Rubin) examines how neuronal circuits regulate social behaviors, like courtship🫶 and aggression🥊, across sexes. #neuroscience #Drosophila #WomenInSTEM 🧪1/

New review article in Fly: Dr. Orie Shafer highlights how Drosophila has become a powerful model for dissecting the molecular and neural circuits of sleep, paving the way for future discoveries in both basic and clinical sleep science.
25 years of Drosophila “Sleep genes”
The field of Drosophila sleep research, which began 25 years ago, has identified more than 200 genes influencing sleep. In this review, I summarize the foundation of the field and the growing list ...
