Simple nematodes can produce a wide variety of behaviors. In a new review, Steven Flavell and co-authors describe how sex, individuality and internal states add up to produce their vast behavioral repretoire. https://t.co/71Csb6LlU9 @mitbrainandcog @ScienceMIT #neuroscience pic.twitter.com/3Y82aufTjK — MIT Picower [...]
The Flavell lab is proud of the accomplishments of lab member Sreeparna Pradhan, who is a K. Lisa Yang Brain-Body Fellow for 2022-2024. Read more about Dr. Pradhan’s work here, as profiled on the Yang Tan Collective’s website.
🪱As the worm turns: A new pre-print study from the Flavell lab uses calcium imaging to track how neurons in a navigating C. elegans nematode encode its navigation strategies, incorporate sensory information and control locomotion.https://t.co/6ieGmyfJ2B #neuroscience — MIT Picower Institute (@MIT_Picower) August 12, 2024
🚀Our latest Flavell lab @MIT_Picower preprint is live on bioRxiv! Aligning and annotating diverse cell types in complex tissues is a major challenge. We introduce 3 deep neural nets to automate this process in freely-moving C. elegans. 🧵: https://t.co/RT5SAsUaPf — Alicia KY. Lu (@mindvance_) July 24, 2024
