New preprint! π
Here, we examine dopamineβs role in modulating fictive and real locomotion and find it acutely shifts the network towards tunneling motor programs in larval Drosophila.
Recently gave a talk and presented a poster at the Motor Circuits Meeting 2025 in St Andrews! Must thank the committee for letting me help organise (+ attend for free...!). Great science, great people and great impatience to see everyone again
