Our latest study is available as a preprint. We show that psychedelics induce subtle changes in gene expression but robust changes in alternative splicing lasting at least one month, suggesting that alternative splicing may represent a general mechanism for prolonged plasticity.

Excited to share our new preprint on connectomic analysis of fly taste circuits! We used the connectome to identify neurons and brain regions involved in taste processing, compare properties of neurons that process different tastes, and more! biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…
