Why do we sometimes fail at simple tasks? Our colleague @hannazwaka.bsky.social from #teamLIN co-authored a new study with Prof. Florian Engert’s lab @harvardmcb.bsky.social showing it’s due to lapses in focus—not ability. Using larval zebrafish, they revealed “attentional switching,” explaining

After 7 years and a lot of memories, I've finally decided to retire Zebrafish Rock! on social media. I really want to say it was always positive but I've had a tumultuous experience with the account. Those that make the community more toxic continue to be promoted to positions of power. 1/4

“We suggest that zebrafish phototaxis is regulated via parallel processing streams, which could be a universal implementation to change strategies depending on developmental stage, context, or internal state, making behavior flexible and goal-oriented.” New work from @zwitscherarmin.bsky.social 🐟

The new law makes it illegal to investigate, arrest, prosecute or imprison any woman in England or Wales for terminating her own pregnancy — no matter what term or trimester she's in.

🐟 New research probing the inner workings of neuromodulation in zebrafish could help scientists better understand how the brain enables flexible behavior and provide insight into mood disorders like depression. 🔗 www.janelia.org/news/new-res...
