Associate Professor @unibirmingham, investigating how the brain resolves conflicts. @FENSKavliNet Scholar bluesky: @crezaval.bsky.social
We're delighted to see our study, "Mating proximity blinds threat perception", pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39198656/, featured by @NatureSMB Thank you for spotlighting our work! nature.com/articles/s4159…
New work stemming from an amazing collaboration with @addisonwebster0 and @AUGCsoup using a combination of rabies mapping and single cell sequencing to identify a GLP1R-expressing local input to AgRP cells that curbs appetite rdcu.be/d2gB5
Where do the dopamine hits does from? A new reward center in the brain is discovered (yes, single cell, spatial omics at work again) @ScienceMagazine science.org/doi/10.1126/sc… science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…
Nice news coverage of our work! Velvet ants have the Swiss Army knife of venoms sciencenews.org/article/velvet…
In time for the new year! Our single-cell dataset of male and hermaphrodite brains is online! & a freely available website weizmann.ac.il/dimorgena/ A Blueprint of Sex-Specific Neuronal Regulation in the C. elegans Nervous System at Single-Cell Resolution biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
Worm reveals role of autism-linked gene tinyurl.com/26qpru4m Thank you, @NakedScientists , for your interest in our work. It is particularly helpful and reassuring to highlight the work of Argentine scientists during these times of dismantling of our science system. @eLife
Congratulations @MeitalOren, @GjorJulijana and Alex Cayco Gajic!👏
🎉 Congratulations to our #FKNE scholars! Earlier this month, the European Research Council (ERC) awarded Consolidator Grants to 3 scholars of @FensKavilNet. 🏆 🔗 Find out more: loom.ly/p8Zz9FU
Pls retweet! Just five more days to apply for this cool (admittedly, I'm biased) and fully-funded #PhD project in our lab! #jobalert ovgu.b-ite.careers/56yvk
Have you ever wondered how memories are processed downstream of the #hippocampus and how this is affected by #Alzheimer's? We believe we may find some answers by riding all the way down the fornix to the mammillary body. Apply here for a #PhD with us: ovgu.b-ite.careers/56yvk
🔴 Live from #Budapest! #FENS is joining @FensKavliNet scholars at the "Towards a Strengthened European Cooperation in #BrainHealth Research" Conference, where they speak on "Discovery #neuroscience research as a foundation for brain health." 🧠
Incoming Assistant Professor Alert! I will be joining the amazing people of Bucknell Biology in their Neuroscience program in Fall 2025!! Chowdhury Lab will study how deep sleep affects social behaviors- Website coming in Spring!
New from Shiko Parnas' lab: Classical & operant learning in *Drosophila* rely on distinct neuronal pathways, challenging current paradigms! @MosheParnas Unstoppable science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…
Avance de científicos argentinos: muestran que las neuronas olfativas reciben información de otras áreas del cerebro, como las vinculadas con contextos espaciales y esto favorece la discriminación de olores 👇 eldestapeweb.com/sociedad/cienc…
Excited to uncover the mechanistic basis of feedback-driven computations in the cortex, inspired by connectomic and functional data supported by an ERC Consolidator Grant #ERCCoG. Thank you for the support @ERC_Research
Congrats to five of our researchers, including Simon Jacob and Julijana Gjorgijeva, who receive prestigious ERC Consolidator Grants by @ERC_Research. Also, Alin Albu-Schäffer is awarded a Proof of Concept Grant: go.tum.de/573222 👏 #ERCCoG #ERCGrants 📷A.Eckert
Thank you @KatrinVogt3 for highlight our work! Lovely piece
The Rezaval lab @crezaval showed that increasing dopamine levels make flies love blind towards the end of courtship. The Crickmore @harvardmed lab found that decreasing dopamine levels towards the end of mating allow for better temporal integration of threat information.
Interested in understanding how the brain makes decisions? Come and do a PhD with us! MIBTP @BBSRC funded #PhD opportunity. Please, get in touch with questions. findaphd.com/phds/project/h…
At the Institut de France, to receive the 2024 Medal-Prize in integrative biology of the French Academy of Sciences. Very thankful for this distinction and particularly thankful to my team as nothing would be possible without them.
We found that if we isolate flies before they eclose, and keep them living alone, they’ll display a constellation of fearful reactions the first time they encounter other flies. Contrary to the sociable behaviors shown by flies housed in a group.
Being raised alone makes flies afraid of one another! But exposure to other flies makes them become sociable. @VLobatoRios found and recorded specific learning circuits in the brain that regulate this transition. Read more in our new preprint: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
