New paper on a circuit that communicates flight motor state to sensory systems
Behavior impacts an animals own sensory field requiring predictive signals to be produced during the articulation of movement. In this collaborative effort with the labs of Kevin Daly and Gwyneth Card, we detail the network architecture by which ascending neurons convey information about motor state throughout the CNS.

New Paper on peptidergic modulation in the olfactory systemNeuropeptides are found throughout the nervous system, yet they can have non-uniform effects on sensory processing. We show that non-uniform receptor expression by sensory afferents allows a restricted population of peptidergic local interneurons to differentially impact responses to odors. Read it here.
