Just out: Our review on how insulin and octopamine tune locomotion and feeding in insects. We cover conserved mechanisms and present new insights showing how emerging datasets connect circuit dynamics across timescales.
It was a fun process and I learnt a ton!

The role of insulin and octopamine in regulating energy homeostasis and locomotion in insects
Maintaining energy homeostasis is a fundamental requirement for survival. At the core, animals must balance periods of food-searching and feeding with…

It’s been an incredible journey. One I couldn’t have imagined when I first walked into the lab in 2020. It wouldn’t have been possible without the unwavering support of my PI @jan-ache.bsky.social, who saw potential in me even at times I couldn't.
I could not be more proud to present the the first PhD graduate from my lab - @ritujabisen.bsky.social! Rituja basically walked into an empty lab in the beginning of 2020, helped build the lab’s first ephys rig from scratch, and then patched her heart out over the following years…
