Jess Jones @jonesjes.bsky.social · 02/11/2025This work builds on exciting new studies in invertebrates asking similar questions—now with unprecedented access to neural circuits. I hope it adds to the growing research reshaping how we see the tiny, yet vital, organisms that share our planet. 🌍🪲🐛🐞 000
