Zebrafish sex as you have never seen it before. (Turn up the volume.)

If you want to work on the neurobiology behind this behavior as a postdoc, contact me.

Experience with neurobiological analysis at the molecular/cellular level using confocal microscopes and/or transcriptomics using zebrafish as a model organism is preferred. Contact Philip Washbourne in the Institute of Neuroscience at the University of Oregon. ion.uoregon.edu/research/fac...

The project aims to uncover neural mechanisms that govern reproductive behavior in zebrafish and how temperature rise synergizes with environmental contaminants to subvert these processes. We will hire in Fall 2026 with two years of postdoctoral funding.

Kavli and NSF Announce New Grant Awards to Advance Neurobiology in… An initiative to explore how nervous systems function and evolve in dynamic natural environments

A POSTDOCTORAL POSITION ON THE NEUROBIOLOGY OF REPRODUCTION IN A CHANGING ENVIRONMENT: We are recruiting a postdoctoral fellow to work on a Neurobiology in Changing Ecosystems (NiCE) award from NSF and the Kavli Foundation (www.kavlifoundation.org/news/kavli-a...).

The Kavli Foundation & #NSF announce four new NiCE grants to study how brains adapt to a changing world - linking genes, cells, behavior, and ecosystems.

Kavli and NSF Announce New Grant Awards to Advance Neurobiology in… An initiative to explore how nervous systems function and evolve in dynamic natural environments

We are honored to be selected for an award from the Neurobiology in Changing ecosystems (NiCE) program at NSF and the @kavlifoundation.org. Our research aims to understand the resilience of fish reproduction in the face of combined temperature rise and environmental contaminants. such as dioxins.

The University of Oregon is searching for an Assistant Professor with a focus on Developmental Neuroscience. We are excited to have you come join us - apply!
Application information can be found at: careers.uoregon.edu/cw/en-us/job...

Exciting news that we are conducting a faculty search for developmental neuroscience. Please consider applying if you are interested in how neuronal circuits are formed or maintained, and how they generate behavior.

Yes, I saw it too. Amazing! I thought it was a Star Wars spaceship crashing down

Congrats to @stednitz.bsky.social and Andrew Lesak on their @currentbiology.bsky.social paper! They use HMM to identify two interaction states in #zebrafish: one visual for long-range interactions and one lateral line for quick, close interactions.

Coordinated social interaction states revealed by probabilistic modeling of zebrafish behavior Stednitz and Lesak et al. apply probabilistic modeling to classify larval zebrafish social behavior and characterize the sensory underpinnings of distinct interaction types.

Happy to share some new work on social interactions of zebrafish: using Hidden Markov models, @stednitz.bsky.social and Andrew Leszak show that there are three states of social approach behavior, and they differ in their sensory components.
