Population-level calcium bumps in the fly brain can be driven by structured inhibition, & T-type Ca channels play a key role in computation which, in this case, means combining heading and wind direction. It’s also a nice example of how physiology doesn’t always fall out cleanly from the connectome.

We had a lot of fun working on this project (led by Itzel Ishida, not on bluesky). Some interesting highlights from the paper -
Happy to share my first story for @nature.com, looking at an aspect of science that doesn’t get discussed enough: retractions that happen because scientists discover honest mistakes in their work. I spoke with researchers who chose to self-retract about what helped them get through the process.
🚨 We are #hiring a PhD Student to study cerebellum-like circuits in #Drosophila.

So excited to share a story I wrote for
@snexplores.bsky.social on how some animals make themselves (almost) invisible - and why humans can't do the same! My last piece written as a
