Early mammals were nocturnal while dinosaurs dominated the daytime. Mammalian transition to daytime activity accelerated after the Cretaceous-Paleogene extinction, but the underlying mechanisms remain...

Animals must align intestinal plasticity and feeding with reproductive state, yet the checkpoint that gates these adaptations is unknown. Here we show that an ovary-to-enteric-neuron axis gates the on...

Artificial intelligence promises rapid and polite feedback on papers — but we must first review the reviewer.

Calcium imaging of taste neurons and the ventral brain provides insight into evolutionary divergence of food choice in Drosophila species, supporting a role of sensorimotor processing in addition to peripheral receptor changes.

Circadian clocks form complex networks to orchestrate the behavior and physiology of animals. Elucidating the organization of these clock networks ...

Odor detection differs fundamentally in vertebrates, which use G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), and insects, which employ ion channels. Here, we report the first evidence for a GPCR defining tunin...

The University of Würzburg is offering a position of a University Professor (m/w/d) for Behavioral Physiology (grade W3) (Chair of Zoology II).

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...

Flies learning to like 'vomit fruit': an example of bitter going from 'yuck' to 'yum.' New research in Drosophila sechellia reveals how taste circuits can evolve to make bitter better. 🍋🪰

Sensory neurons must be reproducibly specified to permit accurate neural representation of external signals but also able to change during evolution. We studied this paradox in the Drosophila olfactor...

The Drosophila melanogaster olfactory system is one of the most intensively studied parts of the nervous system in any animal. Composed of ~60 independent olfactory neuron classes, with several associ...

We are hiring! Are you passionate about neuroscience and eager to understand how the brain processes negative experiences? The mrtllab is looking for a driven PhD candidate to study the neural mechani...
