Every neuroethology conference should have a leech talk. Thanks to Karen Mesce’s talk at the GRC, we appreciate the beauty of working with these creatures. She talks about restoring crawling after injury.

Carola Städele from the University of Göttingen takes us into the exciting sensory world of ticks. The Haller’s organ at the front legs are multisensory organs sensing humidity, vibrations but NOT CO2. It remains unclear where CO2 sensitive receptors are.

@wolfgangstein.bsky.social took a comparative approach to understanding how nervous systems adapt to warming ecosystems.
He emphasized that temperature changes can push neural circuits to their limits. What can crabs teach us? 🦀 #KavliNeuro

Nur falls es in nächster Zeit mal wieder Fragen geben sollte, ob Impfungen denn wirklich „was bringen“. Impfungen sind billig, sicher, effektiv und beugen schweren Erkrankungen bevor sie auftreten.
