Have you heard about Connectome?
We are very excited to have PhD candidate Sarah Pugliese from the Brunton & Tuthill Lab.
This presentation will look into the structure and function of motor circuits in the fruit fly ventral nerve cord. She will talk about the connectome datasets she works with, motor control in flies and other animals, and how she used these network models to find a putative pattern-generating circuit for forward walking.

This opportunity can be valuable for students interested in going to graduate school, medical school, and other higher education, in addition to students interested in getting involved in research.

No prior neuroscience experience is needed to attend, everyone is welcome to join!

Just wrapped up an incredible time at the Allen Institute for the Open Science in Undergraduate Education Symposium in Seattle (June 16–18, 2025)! 🧠✨

Huge thanks to Dr. Kaitlyn Casimo, Dr. Claire Weichselbaum, Dr. Rachel Penton, and the Allen Institute's Education & Engagement team for the chance to dive deeper into open science and present our work. 🙌

We’re so grateful to all the attendees for sharing resources and engaging in such thoughtful discussions — your openness truly made this event special.

ISSUE 31: Placebo Effect

Placebos are treatments with no active ingredients but can still produce real benefits due to patients' expectations of improvement, often enhanced through conditioning. This effect highlights the powerful role of belief in healing, as people tend to experience better outcomes when they expect positive results.
