The role of insulin and octopamine in regulating energy homeostasis and locomotion in insects Maintaining energy homeostasis is a fundamental requirement for survival. At the core, animals must balance periods of food-searching and feeding with…

Just out: Our review on how insulin and octopamine tune locomotion and feeding in insects. We cover conserved mechanisms and present new insights showing how emerging datasets connect circuit dynamics across timescales.
It was a fun process and I learnt a ton!

Many congratulations Mert! Well deserved 🥳🥳

Thank you Corrina 🤗

His guidance has played a huge role in shaping me as a scientist. I am also deeply grateful to my amazing lab mates, whose constant encouragement, laughs, and support helped me push through every challenge. This success is as much theirs as it is mine.

It’s been an incredible journey. One I couldn’t have imagined when I first walked into the lab in 2020. It wouldn’t have been possible without the unwavering support of my PI @jan-ache.bsky.social, who saw potential in me even at times I couldn't.
