How do brains produce complex, context-dependent behavior? In a new review, Steven Flavell and Talya Kramer highlight rapid progress in mapping not only connectivity, but also function and activity in C. elegans and drosophila https://t.co/9gFZZpkwys #neuroscience @MITbrainandcog pic.twitter.com/75ea2xNbZT — MIT [...]

As a research scholar, Eric explored how neurons and neural circuits work together to generate behavior with Prof. Steven Flavell at @MIT_Picower. Now, he’s pursuing a PhD in biomedical engineering. pic.twitter.com/sDWHbDFHju — MIT Brain and Cognitive Sciences (@mitbrainandcog) February 13, 2024

Steve Flavell reveals secrets of the brain. "Neural Mechanisms that Generate Persistent Behavioral States". Great work, great talk. @MIT_Picower #neuroscience pic.twitter.com/0wLsPaEGh1 — Earl K. Miller (@MillerLabMIT) January 26, 2024

How are neural circuits reconfigured during infection to induce sickness behaviors? We show that neuromodulatory systems that control stress and satiety in C.elegans are recruited upon infection to induce sickness behaviors.

This past week, I successfully defended my PhD @mitbrainandcog @ScienceMIT. Many thanks to my advisor, Dr. Steve Flavell, colleagues, & family/friends. pic.twitter.com/YksLhPMkZB — Gurrein Madan (@gurrein) November 4, 2023

This work by @yungchihuang1 and others is a great/fun systems investigation of a single neuron and behavior! Shows how even a single neuron could use multiple means, essentially increasing computational capacity, to control multiple aspects of behaviors https://t.co/Tr4j8VaECq — Jungsoo Kim (@kjungsoo) September 27, 2023

Who *doesn’t* need to relax after running around laying a bunch of eggs? New discovery in roundworms describes how different behaviors are influenced by the same neuron. #motorneurons #sciencetwitterPublished in @CurrentBiologyCoverage by @CurlsPhDhttps://t.co/4LqAqu0uJa — Science Rocks (@ScienceDoesRock) September 27, 2023

A new MIT study in @CurrentBiology provides an in-depth illustration of how individual neurons can use multiple means to drive complex behaviors, including providing serotonin for other cells. https://t.co/XpCjGlp57M @sciencemit @mitbrainandcog #neuroscience — MIT Picower Institute (@MIT_Picower) September 27, 2023
