I use birdsong to understand how the brain learns complex skills across molecules, synapses, circuits, behavior, and computation. On the 2026–27 faculty job market.

Janelia scientists and collaborators have completed a wiring diagram of the central nervous system of an adult male fruit fly, the culmination of nearly two decades of groundbreaking research.

Bilaterian animals must integrate sensory input from both sides of their bodies to make coherent perceptual decisions. In Drosophila larvae, olfactory receptor neurons target the ipsilateral brain hem...

Rapid learning, memory, and generalization are often attributed to circuits of the neocortex and hippocampus, but their specific role remains unclear. To examine these cognitive abilities together in ...

The gut microbiota, immune system, and enteric nervous system interact to regulate adult gut physiology. However, the mechanisms establishing gut physiology during development remain unknown. We repor...

Distinguishing visual input generated by active eye movements from input due to external events is a fundamental challenge for visual processing. Here, we uncover a remarkably simple solution to this ...

A comprehensive gene expression census of Drosophila clock neurons identifies DN3 subtypes that regulate sleep.

Whole-brain activity mapping, targeted cell manipulations and electrophysiology in mice identify wake-activated neuronal populations that are crucial for sleep drive and can persistently red...
