How do brains make decisions when faced with multiple, potentially conflicting cues? In our latest preprint, we show how #zebrafish use an additive strategy and process multiple visual features through anatomically distinct parallel pathways tinyurl.com/mvkn8em9 Thread 👇

The Behavioural Neurobiology Summer School in Kosovo is back for the 2nd year and after just a few days we already made it onto live TV! For anyone who speaks Albanian, you can check out the full broadcast here: shorturl.at/kpUzp 🎙️

We are proud to have @maxcapelle.bsky.social's paper out on bioRxiv! He found that phototactic behavior in #zebrafish switches during #ontogeny🐟🔆 Through elegant behavioral dissections, he identifies the navigational strategies related to this transition. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... Thread 👇

Meet Max, a life science master's student at @uni-konstanz.de who joined our lab last year to work on ablating luminance change detecting cells in the larval zebrafish brain using 2P microscopy. His excellent work contributed to efforts in the lab to probe neural circuits underlying decision-making.

Curious how we study decision-making in the brain? PhD student Max Capelle talks about our research and methods in the @uni-konstanz.de student council podcast (in German): shorturl.at/4W6uF 🎙️ Check it out to learn more about how we combine 2P microscopy, behavioral experiments, and data analysis.

Sledding from the Bahl lab retreat into #NWG2025! Come check out our posters and talks over the next few days. See you there!

We are proud to present our new preprint “Correlative light and electron microscopy reveals the fine circuit structure underlying evidence accumulation in larval zebrafish”, just posted on bioRxiv (www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...). (1/10)

Say hi to @nicobdgas.bsky.social! He successfully completed his bachelor’s thesis, working with @mehaj.bsky.social to standardize patch-clamping in the lab. He investigated spontaneous activity patterns in larval zebrafish Purkinje cells, which inspired him to continue his career in #Neuroscience.

Where's @zwitscherarmin.bsky.social ? Can you spot him? Ho Narro to all of the fantastic costumes on Fasnacht this year!

The best time of the year is here and we are already celebrating. Happy holidays from the Bahl Lab! 🥳

Happy to have hosted professor Florian Engert from @harvard.edu here at the @unikonstanz.bsky.social who shared his exciting work on analyzing heart rate and attention in larvae to gain new insights into decision-making behavior.

Meet @kimkirchberger.bsky.social– our physics master student who found himself captivated by the wonders of neuroscience. After finishing his master’s thesis, he is now continuing his project in the lab while actively seeking a PhD position to continue his scientific journey. #BahlLabPeople

Celebrated our first #Labsgiving! We are thankful for being able to bring together such an international and diverse group of people whose cooking creativity made this event possible!
