👋 Hi there! I'm a neuroscientist and computer scientist passionate about cognitive illusions in insects 🐜 and artificial neuronal networks 🖥️. Father of three, husband of a brilliant scientist. Lecturer at Otago University. /baʁt ˈɣøːrtə(n)/
„Danke für Ihren Einsatz“. Das schreibt der Ex-Porsche-Chef Blume im Sommer 2022 an Christian #Lindner, damals noch Finanzminister. Nachzulesen ist das in SMS-Nachrichten, deren Herausgabe @abgeordnetenwatch.de vor Gericht erreicht hat. Worum geht es? 1/6

We show for the first time how a patient-specific mutation in mitochondrial protein TOMM70 leads to neurodegeneration in zebrafish, revealing novel effects in dendrites. 🐠🧠

You sound a bit sad
++ Eil: Erste Auswertung #Koalitionsvertrag ++
Der Koalitionsvertrag ist ein herber Rückschlag mit Blick auf #Demokratie, Transparenz und Lobbykontrolle. Es gibt so gut wie keine Fortschritte für eine starke Demokratie, die sich vor unzulässiger und einseitiger Einflussnahme schützt. 👇 1/4

Google Scholar showed me my 1000th citation today 🎉
Wer braucht denn bitte den Wahl-O-Mat um sich 2025 eine Meinung zur FDP zu bilden?

🔬 How do we sense touch and sound? Our latest Nature Neuroscience study explores the NOMPC ion channel and finds that a hinge-like linker may be key to initiating mechanosensation—more elastic than expected! 🧐

🧠 In our latest Open Biology study, we use zebrafish to explore how mutations in the Spastizin (ZFYVE26) gene, linked to hereditary spastic paraplegia (HSP), lead to axon degeneration and demyelination.🚶♂️🐟

😂 Excellent birthday cake!
Our latest study is out: 🧠🍎 We discovered that low-caloric intake restructures neuronal circuits in flies, affecting their ability to learn from negative experiences while leaving reward-based learning intact.🍽️🔬

Jokes on you last time I took a train in Germany, it was a major pain! Here is more realistic alternative:
lmaoooo someone published a paper in Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology with AI-generated figures

😂 okay that is kinda obvious now you said it, sorry for being dense. My mind wandered to a book, that describes the art or method of giving the things the right name.
Wanted to channel that 'printed journal issue' magic. Instead, my bioRxiv printout just silently judges me from my desk.⚗️
🚨New paper out! We show that experimentally altered magnetic fields affect both #Behavior and #NeuronalPlasticity during intial learning walks in #Cataglyphis #ants ↘️https://pnas.org/doi/10.1073↙️/pnas.2320764121 #navigation #neuroethology #magnetoreception #compass
What is a namesake book?
oh finally the sandwich post I missed out on... keep up the good work!
