First 🐟 paper published with @annikaboussard.bsky.social ! Guppies artificially selected for a larger telencephalon, relative the the rest of the brain, perform better in both an allo- and egocentric spatial learning task. doi.org/10.1242/jeb....
Evolutionary changes in telencephalon size affect both egocentric and allocentric spatial learning in guppies
Summary: An artificial selection experiment on guppies shows that enlargement of the telencephalon, relative to the rest of the brain, enhances performance in two distinct spatial learning strategies.

I’ve started a short-term post doc position in Per Jensens group at Linköpings University 😃 I will work on brains and neurons in chickens and how they’re related to play behaviour 🧠🐣🔬🧪

Earlier this year, I received news that fake peer reviews were allegedly being submitted impersonating me and approximately six others

I shared my story with Science to, hopefully, reduce the chance of this kind of breach happening again

Why not 😁
First day here. First post.

1 like = 1 AB lore 🤗
I'll bite on this Trend (although I cannot imaging any interest).

1 like = 1 piece of JN lore.
This is a fun idea.

Anyone want some Jeffy lore that nobody really knows about me?
