On näyttöä, että eläimet leikkivät: esim. tekevät liikkeitä, jotka eivät liity ravintoon, lisääntymiseen, hengissäpysymiseen tm, ja mahdollisesti kokevat ilon / mielihyvän kaltaisia tuntemuksia.
Nyt, toistaiseksi vertaisarvioimattomassa tutkimusraportissaan Leipzigin yliopiston tutkijat esittävät, että hedelmäkärpäsetkin kykenevät leikkiin.

The #FruitFly gene Dscam1 encodes 19,008 diverse ectodomain isoforms via #AlternativeSplicing. A systematic #CRISPR screen of #Drosophila #Dscam1 reveals both redundant & specific functions of its isoforms in neuronal wiring #PLOSBiology https://plos.io/3PK6V0M

The simple brain of the fruit fly is invaluable to neuroscientists studying information processing and task management, and a new, incredibly detailed map of fruit fly brain connections now makes that easier.
“The #FlyLight Project produces large anatomical data sets and highly characterized collections of GAL4, LexA and Split-GAL4 drivers in order to enable the visualization and precise manipulation of individual cell types in the #Drosophila nervous system.”

Come over to my exibithion in Leipzig at the spinnerei Rundgang! I will be showing my costumes that imitate a roach, a tardigrade and a fruit fly.

The #FruitFly larva #connectome is an important advance because it's "closer in many regards to a human brain than the other ones," says Joshua Vogelstein, an author of the study and an associate professor of biomedical engineering at Johns Hopkins University.

This week’s #FluorescenceFriday user is Isabel Holguera!#HCRimaging of deadpan mRNA (blue) allowed Isabel to identify neural stem cells in the Drosophila optic lobe (outlined with a white dashed line) and central brain. Hoechst (orange) marks cellular nuclei. Check out her latest publication here: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-022-04564-w.

For this week’s User Spotlight, we’d like to congratulate Mengmeng Liu and Jun-Yuan Ji on their recent manuscript! Mengmeng is a postdoctoral fellow in Jun-Yuan Ji’s Lab at the Tulane University School of Medicine. They used HCR RNA-FISH to validate the repressive effects of Wg signaling at the cellular level in fruit fly larval adipocytes. Check out their full preprint available on bioRxiv here: doi.org/jvj5.

Challenge #160: What triggers the incurable #HuntingtonsDisease?
Scientists at the #mdcBerlin use the #FruitFly to investigate how #Huntington's disease develops in the #brain and how it could be stopped.

In Slovenia, a Fruitful Harvest Despite Drought, Pests
The last few seasons in Slovenia have been characterized by high summer temperatures and a lack of precipitation. Salvation came with heavy September rains.

Hi everyone! #introduction
I am Mari, an #earlycareer scientist at Monash University (AU) researching how (and maternal mitochondrial inheritance can lead to the accumulation of male-harming mutations. I am also a #rstats enthusiast and a #bioinformatician.
Here mainly for the #caturday and to share my void (pictured).
Interested in: #science, #evolution, #bioinformatics, #datascience, #genomics #womenwhocode #Rladies #fruitfly
I am looking forward to meeting you all!!
