We're about to start an exciting new project with generous support from the @erc.europa.eu In SIMBIO, we want to know how bacterial endosymbionts modify neurons on the genetic and functional level and how this shapes the evolution of their host's mating behavior.

Vectorial efference copy and visuomotor transformation through gap junctions
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 ...

I'm thrilled to be opening my own lab this Fall at the @maxplanck.de MPI for Brain Research in Frankfurt. The lab is going to investigate the neuronal and genetic underpinnings of behavioral evolution. We are hiring on all levels. Don't hesitate to share widely and reach out if interested.

1/ How do animals integrate different forms of learning? Our @eyalrozenfeld.bsky.social new study in Science Advances shows that active mechanisms prevent the co-formation of competing memories. Here’s what we found! 🧵👇 science.org/doi/10.1126/...
