Public hearing set for Turnkey Landfill expansion; Bethlehem expansion OK'd
As an Oct. 21 public hearing looms for the proposed expansion of Turnkey Landfill in Rochester, activists say state policies are putting people and the environment in harm’s way.

Letter: We need an honest Sheriff
Deputy Brown advertises himself as an honest and knowledgeable officer. However, this is not my experience with him. As a defense attorney in Tillamook County my office has had many

Context-dependent plasticity of adult-born neurons regulated by cortical feedback
In a complex and dynamic environment, the brain flexibly adjusts its circuits to preferentially process behaviorally relevant information. Here, we investigated how the olfactory bulb copes with this demand by examining the plasticity of adult-born...
Novel Brain Surgery Seeks to Reverse Epilepsy in Sea Lion
Cronutt, like a growing number of ocean mammals, developed seizures because of toxins in the water. Scientists hope the pioneering procedure he underwent this week could help.

Finally, a scalable solution to ameliorate the effects of climate change on marine wildlife: injecting stem cells from a pig brain into the hippocampus of a sea lion.

Under pressure: the extraordinary survival of seal lice in the deep sea
Lice from pinnipeds – sea lions, seals and walruses – are the only insects capable of surviving marine dives. Throughout their evolutionary history, they have adapted to tolerate hypoxia, high salinity, low temperature and, in particular, to...

Lice from elephant seals can tolerate hydrostatic pressures of at least 200 kg cm⁻², which is equivalent to diving 2000 m underwater. The seal in Figure 1 seems resigned to this harsh reality. 🦭🦭jeb.biologists.org/content/223/17… pic.twitter.com/29noT9rgo7

100 inspiring Hispanic/Latinx scientists in America
In celebration of National Hispanic Heritage Month, Christina Termini from UCLA presents a list of 100 Hispanic/Latinx scientists in America that all researchers can look to for inspiration.
Proprioceptors with central cell bodies in insects
A common feature of invertebrate sense organs is that the cell bodies of the sensory neurones are located in the periphery, close to the site of stimulus reception. For some phyla of invertebrates examples are known where sensory cells have their...

First, I was astonished when @jasper_tms spotted a proprioceptive organ not known to exist in flies: a strand receptor! Bräunig and Hustert described these odd neurons in a locust. They have central cell bodies and innervate connective tissues in the coxa

The Man Who Refused to Spy
The F.B.I. tried to recruit an Iranian scientist as an informant. When he balked, the payback was brutal.
John Tuthill
This story about how our government persecuted and unjustly imprisoned a visiting Iranian scientist is outraging and heartbreaking.

A Systematic Nomenclature for the Drosophila Ventral Nerve Cord
The ventral nerve cord (VNC) of Drosophila is an important model system for understanding
how nervous systems generate locomotion. In this issue of Neuron, Court et al. define
the structures of the adult VNC to provide an anatomical framework for...

My lab studies the fly ventral nerve cord, the neglected rear 1/4 of the nervous system that senses and controls the limbs, analogous to the spinal cord
The VNC now has a nomenclature! The product of a workshop hosted by @HHMIJanelia back in 2013(!)

Dense neuronal reconstruction through X-ray holographic nano-tomography
Kuan, Phelps, et al. used synchrotron X-ray imaging and deep learning to map dense neuronal wiring in fly and mouse tissue, enabling examination of individual cells and connectivity in circuits governing motor control and perceptual decision-making.

The connectome of the adult Drosophila mushroom body: implications for function
Making inferences about the computations performed by neuronal circuits from synapse-level connectivity maps is an emerging opportunity in neuroscience. The mushroom body (MB) is well positioned for developing and testing such an approach due to its...
