Excited to share my PhD paper is out! We studied how motion vision is processed beyond the optic lobes to help flies walk straight. It has been a wonderful collaboration with @michaelreiser.bsky.social, @dddavi.bsky.social and many others not in bluesky! Paper + digest here: bsky.app/profile/cham...

πŸͺ°How does a fruit fly walk or fly in a perfectly straight line β€” even at high speed? It’s not just sharp vision. A sophisticated neural computation is at work. 🧠New study led by @champalimaudf.bsky.social Eugenia Chiappe. πŸ“– www.fchampalimaud.org/news/researc... Paper: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

This massive effort was made possible by the incomparable Aljoscha Nern and an amazing team of experts, passionate neuroscientists, and all-around brilliant humans. πŸ™ŒπŸ’‘We all pitched in to analyze, curate, and visualize all the beautiful neurons of the fly visual system.

Excited to have this paper out (rdcu.be/d0T3Y)! In it, we focused on how flies know what to attend to in a complex environment (like below)? We uncovered neuronal pathways through which social states (like aggression πŸ₯Š) modulate visual processing in #Drosophila. #WomenInSTEM #neuroscience πŸ§ͺ 1/
