How temperature affects the connectome – new paper in Cell Reports
Different developmental temperatures lead to differently wired brains and behavioral adaptation to the temperature at which a fly developed. Kiral et al. propose that evolution has selected for a Drosophila…

ERC Advanced Grant: SynPromiscuity
Brain wiring occurs with great precision and reproducibility, yet most neurons have the ability to form synapses with incorrect partners. This phenomenon, known as synaptic promiscuity, still leads to precise…
