How does fever work? Our new Science paper shows how elevated body temperature can protect against severe influenza and that avian-origin viruses escape this defence. This is likely one reason why bird flus and some pandemic influenzas can be so severe.🧵 www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Please check out and RT this new position for an exciting collaborative project with @boninlab.bsky.social and @franckp.bsky.social on the links between human-specific mechanisms and neurodevelopmental disorders in cortical circuits.

We had a new paper out yesterday in @royalsocietypublishing.org Biology Letters. About how the cranial feathers of male Golden and Lady Amherst’s Pheasants affect their visual fields. Nice to see it picked up The New York Times and Science. Paper link below.

How are we budgeting to deal with this?

The magentic sense is undoubtedly one of the greatest secrets in sensory biology. Whole brain activity mapping in response to 🧲 stimulation revealed a light-independent activity in the medial vestibular nuclei & the caudal mesopallium in the pigeon 🧠 www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Found this in the women’s bathroom of our science building today. Honestly, the most accurate peer review I’ve gotten all week. #LabNotesFromTheStall

This seems to be a book that everyone should read... But the review says it all!

Hot from the virtual press: last paper from post-doc Mélanie Faure (Now @UniLausanne). Work initiated by Rebeca Corona (now UNAM, Queretaro). We examined the contribution of membrane estrogen receptor alpha to the negative feedback of estrogens on LH secretion onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

Really important statement of @sbn-bsky.bsky.social 👇

New work from the @inhcirlab.bsky.social sky.social showing activational and organizational effect of sex hormones on hippocampal inhibitory neurons. A short thread below 👇 www.jneurosci.org/content/earl... @institutocajal.bsky.social

After six weeks working with my always inspiring @cemusuppsala.bsky.social colleagues, just got on the train heading back to the UK. Uppsala (Sweden) to New Mills (UK, nr.Manchester) in around 26hrs (via Stockholm-Hamburg night train). The EU really need to support a network of quality night trains.
