Congratulations to @Neuro_Mohamed on defending your thesis and your last day in the Griffith Lab! We are so proud of all you've accomplished and you will be missed greatly!
A new paper from our lab is out!
Leslie from Brandeis Ugly Sweater Contest 2022 ... We should have won! 🤣
Been working with flies for a long time, didn’t think I would be surprised by anything flies did. But, wow..

Our lab @Brandeis (~Boston) now hiring a Research Tech. We study how flies/mosquitoes sense the world using molbio/genetics. Whether goal is PhD/MD program in ≥2 yrs (recent ex-techs in PhD (UC Berk.,UVM), MD/PhD (BU) programs) or long-term, contact us. brandeis.wd5.myworkdayjobs.com/Jobs/job/Brand…
How does multisensory learning improve memory performance, for even the individual sensory cues? Zeynep Okray @z_okray, Pedro Jacob, Ciara Stern, Kieran Desmond, @_Nils_Otto_ and @paovargtz show how. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
The Katz lab in Brandeis University is looking for postdocs, see the ad for more details. P.S. we are looking for postdocs as well!

#JNeurosci: @Neuro_Mohamed et al. @BrandeisU developed a method to study memory formation in excised brains from Drosophila melanogaster. This method can reproduce the salient features of memory formation that have been identified in intact animals. jneurosci.org/lookup/DOI/10.…
Lab's latest pub🍾!! Inversion of the response sign in a single olfactory neuron reverses olfactory preference behavior! Unexpected - we thought it was an artifact for the longest time. Congrats to all authors and esp Munzareen Khan for seeing this through! Preprint tweetorial 👇🏽
