    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

    How are neural circuits reconfigured during infection to induce sickness behaviors?

    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 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
