This paper describes an undergraduate course integrating sustainability into neuroscience education, showing it raises awareness and enhances students' ability to promote positive change.

The paper uses HSMM to analyze Drosophila larval locomotor activity, showing how memory of recent states promotes motor program diversity through adaptive competition between CPG modules.

This study uses optogenetics and calcium imaging to show that tdc2+ neurons modulate motor program bias in Drosophila larvae by influencing fictive motor activity.

WillCO2st provides a free tool for fast, publication-ready carbon emissions reporting using real-time energy-to-emissions data and integrates with Python scripts for sustainability audits.

This study investigates how octopamine and tyramine modulate competition between motor programs in Drosophila larvae, showing distinct effects on locomotion direction and motor program overlap.

This paper presents a framework for calculating the carbon footprint of PhD research, using a neuroscience Drosophila lab as a case study, and highlights key emission sources.

The paper develops a computational model of the Drosophila larval locomotor system to show how inhibitory circuit motifs generate motor program diversity and variability.

The paper investigates tripartite synapse loss in ALS models and human tissue, finding selective vulnerability of these synapses in both mice and humans.
