I am excited to share that one part of my PhD project is out as a preprint! 🤩

Our latest preprint is out! @olegtolstenkov.bsky.social did a great job in dissecting Ciona larval rheotaxis behavior. He also mapped the underlying neuronal circuit. We also include some insightful mathematical modelling from our collaborators Ayumi Ozawa and Tetsuya Hiraiwa.
