I'm thrilled to be opening my own lab this Fall at the @maxplanck.de MPI for Brain Research in Frankfurt. The lab is going to investigate the neuronal and genetic underpinnings of behavioral evolution. We are hiring on all levels. Don't hesitate to share widely and reach out if interested.

Our story about flies on carousels is out in @currentbiology.bsky.social! After formally engaging the fantastic @clarahowcroft.bsky.social and integrating helpful reviewer feedback, we present a more concise story with detailed behavioural quantification and cooler videos! doi.org/10.1016/j.cu...

1/ How do animals integrate different forms of learning? Our
@eyalrozenfeld.bsky.social new study in Science Advances
shows that active mechanisms prevent the co-formation of competing memories. Here’s what we found! 🧵👇

Neuronal circuit mechanisms of competitive interaction between action-based and coincidence learning Parallel and interfering neuronal circuits are responsible for operant and classical learning.

New from Shiko Parnas' lab: Classical & operant learning in *Drosophila* rely on distinct neuronal pathways, challenging current paradigms! Unstoppable
