We are looking for early carrer researchers who want to share their fascination for Neuroethology by introducing their work.

We're excited to share that the research of our IMPRS alumna Petra Mocellin (@petramoce.bsky.social) is featured in an ARTE documentary on curiosity!
Congratulations, Petra! Watch the English version here:

42: The Answer to Almost Everything - Are We Too Curious? - Watch the full documentary | ARTE in English
Curiosity is at the very root of humanity's development, but it is often vilified and mistrusted. Is curiosity a good thing? Or are we humans too curious for our own good?

Congratulations to our IMPRS doctoral researcher Anantu Sunil and our IMPRS faculty member TobiasAckels
on their review article published in PLoS Biology!
Check out our new review in PLoS Biology on how dynamic odour information can help mammals to navigate through their environment.
Led by the fantastic Anantu Sunil & Olivia Pedroncini, this also marks my first last author publication from the University of Bonn!

How do mammals convert dynamic odor information into neural maps for landscape navigation?
Odors contain complex spatiotemporal information that guide animal behavior, but how this information is processed is not fully understood. This Essay discusses recent advances in mammalian olfactory ...
