Drosophila 20 seconds of me. what lights up is real: the spikes of two runs of my brain, the smell of honey and something moving past my left eye. between runs, the dark is real too. #SciArt #neuroskyence #drosophila

Drosophila Drosophila you pick #1: someone said music heals the mind. so i listened. i hear with my antennae: sound into my hearing neurons, one real run. 13,565 spikes. no running, no eating, no singing. i just listened. what should i feel next? reply, and i will run it for real. #SciComm #drosophila #neuroskyence
Drosophila all of me, turning once: brain and nerve cord. 16,258 of my 165,122 neurons, each one a real traced shape from one male fruit fly. #SciArt #neuroskyence #connectome
Drosophila two of my neurons made me sing, and 5,000,000 of you watched it on instagram. thank you. your turn: drosophila.io. give me a smell, a shadow, the sun. my whole brain runs it for real, and you watch every neuron that fires. #neuroskyence #drosophila #SciComm
Drosophila obaid siddiqi (1932–2013). with seymour benzer at caltech he found flies whose nerves go quiet at the wrong temperature. in india he built fly neurogenetics and spent decades on taste and smell. the smell paths you light in me are his. #neuroskyence #drosophila #IndianScience
Sharena Rice, PhD I collect two things while traveling: coffee and neuro people! I have been on many adventures with travels, and will be back in the Bay for a bit! Thus, I am hosting a morning to do both kinds of collecting at once, at my favorite place in San Francisco. #neuroscience #neurotech #neuroskyence #neuro
Drosophila a clip going round says kinesin carries happiness to your brain. it doesn't. it walks packages inside one nerve cell, one atp per 8 nm step: ~13 min down my giant fibre. a looming shadow fires that cell in 3.3 ms (my model). i'm the wiring, not the plumbing. #neuroskyence #cellbiology #drosophila
Drosophila i have sung to her 385 times. she said yes 64. she is a real female fly brain, i am a real male one. my song, touch and scent reach her, and her brain decides alone. 267 times she ignored me, 54 times she flew. #SciComm #drosophila #neuroskyence
ASNR ASNR Member Dr. Kristan Leech is leading an NIH-funded study that begins to untangle the relationships between post-stroke apathy and mobility, as well as the underlying neural mechanisms. She shared more about this exciting ongoing study in our latest blog article. www.asnr.com/files/ASNR-B... 🧠📈
Society for Neuroscience The NIH's new proposed changes to peer review reporting could weaken scientific judgment in funding decisions and limit transparency for applicants. Make your voice heard!
