Beautiful new work by @manduh21.bsky.social and our team! Clumsy, a kainate-type glutamate receptor, mediates noxious cold sensation and cold behavioral avoidance in fruit flies. This expands our prior work demonstrating this class of receptors also functions as a cold receptor in worms and mammals.

🐵🙈🙉🙊 LabGym quantifies user-defined behaviors—social or non-social—without physical markers. It’s 'subject-aware,' telling you which animal is doing what in a group.
