Recent work by @salilbidaye.bsky.social and team on the circuits that control walking in the fly featured in The Transmitter!
Original research in eLife: buff.ly/mHgeGfF
New research from MPFI led by @maryphillips.bsky.social in collaboration with @zeiss-microscopy.bsky.social and MetaCell introduces an imaging pipeline called Neuroplex, enabling simultaneous monitoring of neural activity across 9 neuronal populations in freely moving mice. buff.ly/HkgsSZU
NeuroCollective 2.0 brought together 140+ students, scientists, and industry professionals from 15 institutions for a day of NeuroAI, mentorship, and connection. Shoutout to the 32 trainee presenters — and especially our two IMPRS-SC PhD reps who took home best talk AND best poster honors! 🏆
How does the brain power its own memories — and what happens when that system fails? MPFI scientist Vidhya Rangaraju sat down with neuroscientist Mark Mattson on the Brain Ponderings podcast to explore exactly that.

Multiplexed spectral fingerprinting through a single implanted GRIN lens enables projection-resolved functional imaging of up to nine neuronal populations in freely behaving animals without post hoc…
Here’s our latest preprint on uncovering neural control of a coordinated walking pattern! doi.org/10.64898/202... (author-list jumbled, see pdf for corrected). Video shows the central paradigm in this study, we optogenetically induce walking in headless flies and sequentially reduce proprioception.
Researchers have long searched for the neural circuit underlying locomotion. Now they’ve found it in flies.

The neuronal circuit controlling repetitive locomotion patterns in any animal has been a mystery until now.
