Maitri Manjunath revisits work on hearing-impaired songbirds from Nicolas Giret & colleagues, now published in Frontiers in Psychology 🙌
#postLight: https://prelights.biologists.com/highlights/visually-guided-compensation-of-deafening-induced-song-deterioration/
Three new postLights have recently been added! 👀
postLight = journey from #preprint to peer-reviewed paper. 🛣️
In the first postLight, Ankita Walvekar revisits work from Cerys Manning & team highlighted on #preLights last year.
Now published in @BiologyOpen 🙌

Cellular signalling protrusions enable dynamic distant contacts in spinal cord neurogenesis - preLights
Notching it up a bit: distant cells can receive Notch signalling through cellular protrusions in the developing spinal cord.
preLightsTim Schwanitz and Lukas Weiss have uploaded a #postLight. 👀
They revisit work (from Einat Couzin-Fuchs & team) exploring the neuronal basis of olfactory-mediated foraging behaviour in locusts, published in #NatureComms 🦗

Synergistic olfactory processing for social plasticity in desert locusts - preLights
The smell of a movable feast: researchers investigate the neuronal basis of olfactory-mediated foraging behavior in locusts.
preLightsReally entertaining #postLight written by Marc Somssich (@somssich) reflecting on the journey of a #preprint now published in #Science.
Also a good chance to highlight this great figure again, depicting the pipeline to produce #Pikobodies.
