Olfactory projection neuron rewiring in the brain of an ecological specialist Dürr et al. develop advanced genetic tools in the host specialist D. sechellia to study its olfactory system neuroanatomy. They show via single-cell labeling, tracing, and quantitative comparison of o...

Happy to see this out now:
Olfactory projection neuron rewiring in the brain of an ecological specialist: Cell Reports www.cell.com/cell-reports...

In a team effort with @bentonlab.bsky.social 's lab we establish new genetic tools in #drosophila sechellia and compare single central brain neurons.

Very happy to announce a workshop I'm co-organising with Marion Silies and @crltt.bsky.social, taking place 2-4 Sept in Ingelheim, Germany!

'Flexibility and robustness of nervous system function', hosted by the Gutenberg Workshops @unimainz.bsky.social & with a fantastic line-up!

Developmental timing across species: From mechanisms to evolutionary insights Like choreography, development consists of a highly ordered suite of steps and transitions. Modifying developmental tempo can affect final size and composition of tissues, as well as their plasticity…

Impressions of the IQCB General Assembly & Networking Event on 29 January 2025.

Terrific start to 2025! Last Wednesday, IQCB members had a great time sharing their research and finding potential cooperation partners. #UniMainz Vice President Prof. Dr. Stefan Müller-Stach gave an exciting keynote on how new tools in #Mathematics can be applied in #DataScience.

Impact of developmental temperature on neural growth, connectivity, and function Developmental temperature tunes brain wiring with consequences for circuit function and animal behavior.
