The Integrative Biology of Brain Evolution (TIBBE)- Network

Paul Katz on recognizing neuronal homologues across species in the Evolution of Brain Cell Types seminar.

Maria Antonietta Tosches on Cajal-Retzius cells and the evolution of homologous cell types in the Evolution of Brain Cell Types seminar.

Join us today for a great #TIBBE seminar and discussion!

@neuroluci.bsky.social and I can’t wait to co-chair this 🤩

Starting in less than 2 hours!!!

#EvolutionaryNeuroscience

On now!

Happening tomorrow! 👀

Please join us next Wednesday for this exciting TIBBE seminar!

Excited for the upcoming TIBBE online talks &discussions with the amazing @matosches.bsky.social & @pkatz.bsky.social around
How can we define homologous cell types across vertebrates and invertebrates?
Next Wednesday, September 10, 2pm UTC, 4pm Paris 🧠🦎🐣🐭🌊 Join us www.crowdcast.io/c/evolution-...

🤩 Join us for the next TIBBE seminar:
Evolution of brain cell types.
September 10, 2–3pm UTC

This event brings together 2 outstanding evolutionary and developmental neuroscientists who will present their work, followed by an interactive discussion with the audience: www.crowdcast.io/c/evolution-...

I am excited that our project to create TIBBE –The integrated biology of brain evolution network– was selected for funding by @eseb.bsky.social😍 Please join us to share our experiences across scales and taxa! Excited to see this community grow! 🧠🪰🐘🐟🐭🐒 More info in this 🧵 or tibbe-network.github.io

So happy to have joined this amazing symposium! So many great talks and posters! Thanks for including me!

‪Next, @posnienlab.bsky.social taking us on a beautiful journey showing that ‬heterochrony in orthodenticle expression is associated with ommatidial size variation between Drosophila species.

Amaia Alcalde Anton sharing her insights on How to build a bigger brain–cellular basis of expanded mushroom bodies in Heliconius butterflies. Beautiful images. Proliferating cells into adulthood!
#ESEB2025 @tibbe-evolneuro.bsky.social @ebablab.bsky.social @alealisousa.bsky.social @r3rt0.bsky.social

@borreroja.bsky.social shows how ecological divergence & post-eclosion brain dev shape visual performance in Heliconius butterflies. Speciation often related to transitions closed /open forest
#ESEB2025 @tibbe-evolneuro.bsky.social @ebablab.bsky.social @alealisousa.bsky.social @r3rt0.bsky.social

Alex Kirschel taking us to African song birds, showing how genetics and environment shape vocal frequency variation in birds, including the effects of temperature, body size and beak length.
At #ESEB2025 @tibbe-evolneuro.bsky.social @ebablab.bsky.social @alealisousa.bsky.social @r3rt0.bsky.social

Francesco Cicconardi presenting how Single-nuclei transcriptomics reveals neural cell type innovation associated with mushroom body expansion in Heliconiini Butterflies,+ link to cognitive innov.

Now @emilylbehrman.bsky.social exploring the genetic basis of neural circuit evolution for Drosophila mate preferences, including what their interested song & their disinterested song sounds like #ESEB2025 @tibbe-evolneuro.bsky.social @ebablab.bsky.social @alealisousa.bsky.social @r3rt0.bsky.social

#eseb2025 has started. So many friends and colleagues around. This is amazing. Welcome everyone to Barcelona!

Ximena Leon continues our sound journey into birds showing the evolution of diversity in rhythm & assessing evolutionary dynamics of rhythm and syntax in birdsong. Females prefer regular songs. #ESEB2025 @tibbe-evolneuro.bsky.social @ebablab.bsky.social @alealisousa.bsky.social @r3rt0.bsky.social
