Congratulations to Susanne (mentored by post-doc @mehaj.bsky.social) for successfully defending her master's thesis investigating neural dynamics in the larval zebrafish brain 🥳 Wishing you the best of luck with your #jobsearch for a PhD position!

How to survive the PhD thesis writing phase? My latest blog post is a practical guide for PhD candidates facing the daunting writing stage. shorturl.at/vfR8h #PhD #Doctorate #AcademicChatter #Academia #PhDAdvice

Exciting news for #ASABWinter2025 ! 🚨Abstract deadline extension for Sept 12 !!!!🚨

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 👇

We are still accepting applications for the #postdoc opportunity in the lab 🕵‍♀️ 🧠 More details 👇 Postdoctoral position: lnkd.in/g4TkRxpM Research directions: lnkd.in/eV2iMKGf Our team and philosophy: lnkd.in/eh3nnNgq ⏬

Excited to be in the city of joy to present a part of my postdoctoral research with @bahllab.bsky.social sky.social at @behaviour2025.bsky.social Come find me on Wednesday, 27th evening at my poster titled 'Collective sensing and decision-making in zebrafish groups under sensory uncertainty'

Amazing work by an even more amazing person Katja Slangewal from @bahllab.bsky.social Rea on to know how larval zebrafish integrate multiple features of the visual stimulus

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 👇

Tomorrow morning at 11:30, March 27th, Akhila Mudunuri @akhila1498.bsky.social is talking in Symposium 19 #NWG2025 @neurowissg.bsky.social about Multimodal social modulation of behavior in larval Drosophila. If you are interested, also check out our new preprint: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

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

On the way to Göttingen! Tomorrow, check out the poster from my PhD student Hari Narayanan @hari-flies.bsky.social We find that navigating odors is modulated by hunger and social context in fly larvae @modolfor.bsky.social

The first paper from the lab is out on biorxiv - enjoy reading! Social context and interactions influence our behavioral decisions - the same is true for the little fly larva!

Check out the latest preprint from our lab, led by Aytac Kadir Mutlu, on the role of topographically organized dorsal raphe (DRN) activity in regulating forebrain function and adaptive behaviors! 🧵👇 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

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.

📣🚨 Abstract submission deadline extended!!! 🚨📣 In response to continued interest from prospective contributors, we are pleased to announce that the deadline for abstract submission has been extended. 🗓New submission deadline: 15th February 2025. 🗒️Submission requirements: A 300-word abstract.

Announcing a new week-long program for young computational neuroscience/ behavior professors to talk about rigorous science, mentoring, lab management, and networking in a stunning retreat setting. Do great science as a community and have fun doing so.

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

Can the motor system use sensory expectations to prepare for unexpected events? Excited to share my latest work with @andpru.bsky.social – where we establish that sensory expectations shape neural population dynamics in motor circuits! 🧵 and paper below 1/

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.

I made a systems neuroscience starter pack, focused on experimentalists who study the brain at the level of populations of neurons! Also want to be on the list? Reply or DM me a picture of your ephys rig or 2p setup and I'll add you 🤭 go.bsky.app/UiqX7ry

here are only 38 patch-clampers on this plattform!?! Who else? 🧠 🔬 🧪 go.bsky.app/RuCRCgX

Here is an update of my Zebrafish Neuroscientists starter pack. As usual, apologies if I forgot someone. go.bsky.app/8MneNWw

Really excited to launch the megabouts.ai project from @adrienjouary.bsky.social. The era of large-scale behavioral data brings with it the challenge of how to integrate and compare data acquired using diverse set-ups and tracking approaches. (1/n)

See the associated BiorXiv preprint here (www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...). Thank you to our collaborator Randall Peterson, who kindly helped Adrien to carry out key experiments in his lab. (7/n)

Those who have used biophysically realistic conductance-based neuronal models may have faced difficulties in getting their model’s membrane potential baseline during action potential trains to match experimental observations. Our computational study addresses this problem: 🧵1/n 🧠💻

Following the news that eLife will not receive an Impact Factor in 2025, we’ve shared an update on how our model is doing since we were first placed “on hold” by Web of Science, and what we’re up to now. Find out more. https://buff.ly/3ATRAFT

I haven't seen one yet, so here is my starting attempt to start a starter pack in Neurophysiology. I'm sure I missed a ton, so please reach out to me to include you. go.bsky.app/9FY1ReG
