Martin Giurfa

(2/3) Huge thanks to my supervisors @martingiurfa.bsky.social and Guillaume Isabel for their guidance and support.
Between Toulouse and Paris (and even a lab move!), this PhD was a real adventure : full of inspiring people and moments I’ll always cherish. ✨🏙️

It was a pleasure to have you in Paris!

Seasonal and nutritional modulation of honeybee olfactory learning by the short neuropeptide F | Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences Neuropeptides are crucial molecules in the nervous system, regulating various biological processes. Neuropeptide F (NPF) and its shorter form, short neuropeptide F (sNPF), serve functions in invertebr...

Aversive learning reduces aversive-reinforcer sensitivity in honey bees - Scientific Reports Scientific Reports - Aversive learning reduces aversive-reinforcer sensitivity in honey bees

See our last work on the effect of learning on how bees respond to the unconditioned stimulus (US) after learning! We show that learning changes not only conditioned-stimulus processing but also US processing.

A wonderful work by Yuan Lai et al. doi.org/10.1038/s415...

Today is Charles Darwin’s birthday

Dear Charles, receive my most sincere thanks for the Theory of Natural Selection and for liberating us from supernatural beliefs and other irrational accounts of our existence; thanks above all for a whole new way to looking at humanity....

Paris, no todo es Notre Dame

Bravo!

En el instituto de Francia, para recibir el premio-medalla 2024 de biología Integrativa de la Academia Nacional de Ciencias de Francia. Muy agradecido x el honor y sin olvidar que uno es un producto de la educación publica argentina que el gobierno actual quiere destruir
