@olegtolstenkov.bsky.social and Sissel Norland @msarscentre.bsky.social show that Ciona adults have rich embodied postural dynamics and are able to perceive different sensory stimuli and respond with distinct behavioral outputs. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... (from last September)
The evolution of embodied postural dynamics underlies behavioral diversity in benthic sessile chordate
Benthic animals live on or in the seafloor, a habitat known as the benthic zone. These bottom-dwelling organisms account for the largest fraction of animal diversity in our seas, playing vital roles i...

📣 New preprint from the @mchatzigeorgiou.bsky.social lab, led by @olegtolstenkov.bsky.social 👏🧪 Using a combination of behavioral and computational analyses, the authors show that #Ciona can process detailed information about water flow and perform rheotaxis 🧠 Read the full story ⤵️
The cellular and behavioral blueprints of chordate rheotaxis.
The oceans are filled with life-forms exhibiting complex adaptations to help navigate fluid environments and take advantage of fluid motion to locomote and disperse. However, the neuronal and behavior...
