Congratulations Dr. Batista!

Our paper is now published! Environmental temperature dictates the developmental pace of poikilothermic animals. In Drosophila, slower development at lower temperatures results in higher brain connectivity, but the generality of such scaling across temperatures and brain regions and its impact on function are unclear. Here, we show that brain connectivity scales continuously across temperatures, in agreement

Our new biorxiv preprint! “Undoing of firing rate adaptation enables invariant population codes” Background adaptation is a classic topic in neuroscience, but poorly understood in olfaction. We studied it in first and second-order olfactory neurons with unexpected results. In collaboration with Luisa Ramirez, Marion Silies and Alexander Walter.

Our ant adventure starts! A new project funded within the SPP 2205 with Hugo Darras and Susanne Foitzik!

Our new Biorxiv preprint! Metabolic constraints on growth explain how developmental temperature scales synaptic connectivity relevant for behaviour.

RobustCircuit: from imprecision to robustness in neural circuit assembly A new DFG-funded initiative started!

Doug Storace and Carlotta Martelli: a review on adaptation in the vertebrate olfactory system!

Our review about temporal processing in olfaction is out!

We are at the iDN in the new Biozentrum at JGU in Mainz! This is our new house in JGU Mainz.
