🇧🇷 3/ Leonardo Campana is going back to Brazil to finish his PhD, after a 1-year internship in the team. He fell in love with Paris and knows the Louvre better than any of us. 🥖🥐🇫🇷 We will miss him greatly! @martingiurfa.bsky.social @udiptachakraborti.bsky.social

Extremely honored for the opportunity to give the opening Angelique Arvanitaki Lecture at the meeting of the French Society of Neuroscience in Montpellier. Glad that this lecture was named after this brilliant woman who did fundamental work on the nervous system of invertebrates.

See our last work on the effect of learning on how bees respond to the unconditioned stimulus (US) after learning! We show that learning changes not only conditioned-stimulus processing but also US processing. A wonderful work by Yuan Lai et al. doi.org/10.1038/s415...
