New Preprint!
Not all mosquitoes are alike! Read about different learning behaviors in 4 species and how dopamine may be related to these differences in our shiny new preprint on bioRxiv.
New ebook available, co-edited by yours truly
"Biogenic Amines and Neuromodulation of Behavior" is a collection of research articles and reviews from multidisciplinary laboratories studying the effects of neuromodulators like dopamine, serotonin, histamine, tyramine, and octopamine on neural circuitry in different animals, both vertebrate and invertebrate.
Nature recently published an editorial on the necessity of studying "unusual creatures" . Looks like they took notice of our beautiful and unusual creatures and their brains!

I'm glad The Scientist magazine thinks mushroom bodies are as visually appealing as I do!
Look whose microscopy is featured on the cover of "Arthropod Brains"!
Harvard University Press chose my image of a fluorescently labeled crayfish brain as the cover image for Nick Strausfeld's book, Arthropod Brains: Evolution, Functional Elegance, and Historical Significance. You can find more of my microscopy work within the chapters that compare neuroanatomy from insects and crustaceans, to centipedes and spiders, with discussions on brain evolution and the scientists who pioneered the field.
