New Preprint from the lab, and the second half of Elizabeth Hodge’s masters project - we dived into whether shifts in visual #foraging behaviours and spatial #memory in #Heliconius involved changes in sensory systems🧪 1/n
Conservation of sensory pathways implies a localised change in the mushroom bodies is associated with cognitive evolution in Heliconius butterflies https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2025.07.08.663516v1

We recently spoke to Professor James Hodge at the University of Bristol, to learn more about his research into Alzheimer’s genes. Using fruit flies, his work explores how these genes impact memory and sleep - key areas in dementia research. @docfly.bsky.social
