🚨New paper in Zoology 🐟
Led by Dr Myoung-Hoon Ha, we show how tuna and marlin olfactory systems are shaped by hydrodynamic flow, revealing shared pelagic adaptations and species-specific solutions to life at speed.

Congrats Dr Ha! 🎓👏

Auditory representation of conspecific calls improves throughout ontogeny in a singing fish | Biology Letters A central question in understanding acoustic communication systems is how auditory processing develops relative to vocal differentiation. While the development of auditory processing of conspecific vo...

Tasting opportunity How birds retuned sour perception to eat fruits

Eve Schneider & I wrote a @science.org Perspective on a striking new study by Zhang et al.:

Read how a small genetic shift in a taste receptor, led to a big leap in ecological opportunity for birds

Researchers give flies a taste for cocaine A new study has investigated cocaine addiction in fruit flies, while overcoming their aversion to its taste.

Can fruit flies get addicted to cocaine? Some researchers from the University of Utah decided to find out.

Remarkable diversity of the cutaneous endings of different sensory nerves. This was partly known, but not previously described so completely. Abeta fibres have a single process, others are bushy, extended or compact and branching.

Preparing to teach nociception (pain sensing) today, I stumbled upon remarkable recent work on DRG neuron markers. A breakthrough bringing order to that chaos? It allowed sparse labelling of the crazy terminal endings & much more. #SensoryBiology #Neuroscience www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
