We uncovered a new mechanism for coincidence detection in the Drosophila head direction network. To maintain an accurate sense of direction, head direction neurons that signal orientation during navigation must learn to anchor to relevant external sensory cues in novel environments. Yet the synaptic mechanism for this form of unsupervised learning is unknown in any organism. In Drosophila, GABAergic visual inputs converge onto head direction neurons, and these inhibitory synapses change strength with experience to learn the relationship between visual landmarks and head direction. However, how coincident pre- and postsynaptic activity is detected across this inhibitory synapse is not understood. We discovered that neurons which release the monoamine octopamine close a feedback loop that conveys postsynaptic head direction activity onto presynaptic terminals of visual inputs. This octopamine pathway is required for anchoring the head direction network to visual cues. Furthermore, pairing structured activation of octopamine neurons with a visual cue is sufficient to drive rapid plasticity, even without postsynaptic head direction cell activity. Previous work has extensively characterized coincidence detection mechanisms at excitatory synapses; our work defines a novel mechanism for coincidence detection at an inhibitory synapse, in which postsynaptic activity is relayed via a neuromodulatory neuron onto presynaptic terminals.<br>\r\n </p>", "image_description": "", "creation_date": "2026-01-21T16:26:07", "last_modification_date": "2026-02-16T13:34:30", "link_label": "Web Page", "link_url": "https://vcresearch.berkeley.edu/faculty/yvette-fisher", "canceled": "False", "cancel_reason": "", "place_and_room": "SV 1717", "url_place_and_room": "https://plan.epfl.ch/?room==SV%201717", "url_online_room": "https://epfl.zoom.us/j/64813563657", "spoken_languages": [ "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/spoken_languages/2/?format=api" ], "speaker": "Yvette Fisher, UC Berkeley", "organizer": "SV BMI Host: Pavan Ramdya", "contact": "[email protected]", "is_internal": "False", "theme": "", "vulgarization": { "id": 2, "fr_label": "Public averti", "en_label": "Informed public" }, "registration": { "id": 3, "fr_label": "Entrée libre", "en_label": "Free" }, "keywords": "", "file": null, "icalendar_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/event/export/119404/", "category": { "id": 1, "code": "CONF", "fr_label": "Conférences - Séminaires", "en_label": "Conferences - Seminars", "activated": true }, "academic_calendar_category": null, "domains": [], "mementos": [ "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/1/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/6/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/9/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/19/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/88/?format=api" ] }, { "id": 70929, "title": "BMI Distinguished Seminar // Manish Saggar", "slug": "bmi-distinguished-seminar-manish-saggar", "event_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/event/bmi-distinguished-seminar-manish-saggar", "visual_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/image/32317/200x112.jpg", "visual_large_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/image/32317/720x405.jpg", "visual_maxsize_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/image/32317/max-size.jpg", "lang": "en", "start_date": "2026-09-09", "end_date": "2026-09-09", "start_time": "12:15:00", "end_time": "13:15:00", "description": "", "image_description": "", "creation_date": "2026-01-21T16:42:23", "last_modification_date": "2026-02-16T13:33:32", "link_label": "Web Page", "link_url": "https://profiles.stanford.edu/manish-saggar", "canceled": "False", "cancel_reason": "", "place_and_room": "SV 1717", "url_place_and_room": "https://plan.epfl.ch/?room==SV%201717", "url_online_room": "https://epfl.zoom.us/j/64813563657", "spoken_languages": [ "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/spoken_languages/2/?format=api" ], "speaker": "Manish Saggar, Stanford University", "organizer": "SV BMI Host: K.

Important in industry and medicine, biofilms also represent a unique form of growing active matter with unique physical and material properties. In this talk, I will highlight our recent work on developing a platform for imaging live, growing biofilm at single-cell resolution, using <em>Vibrio cholerae </em>as the model organism. I will show how bacterial cells physically communicate with each other and the environment to form ordered architecture reminiscent of liquid crystals. Moreover, I will talk about our recent discovery that heterogeneity in gene expression leads to unexpected pattern formation in biofilm through a drag-based sorting mechanism. I will also highlight ongoing research in the lab on extending the imaging capability to more natural environments including marine animal hosts. I will end by showing our recent findings on the mechanical properties of the extracellular matrix that underlie the architecture of the biofilm.</p>", "image_description": "", "creation_date": "2026-05-05T13:16:32", "last_modification_date": "2026-05-05T13:17:16", "link_label": "", "link_url": "", "canceled": "False", "cancel_reason": "", "place_and_room": "SV 1717", "url_place_and_room": "https://plan.epfl.ch/?room==SV%201717", "url_online_room": "", "spoken_languages": [ "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/spoken_languages/2/?format=api" ], "speaker": "Professor Jing Yan, Assistant Professor, Molecular, Cellular and Developmental Biology, Yale University", "organizer": "Professor Alexandre Persat", "contact": "[email protected]", "is_internal": "False", "theme": "", "vulgarization": { "id": 1, "fr_label": "Tout public", "en_label": "General public" }, "registration": { "id": 3, "fr_label": "Entrée libre", "en_label": "Free" }, "keywords": "", "file": null, "icalendar_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/event/export/120654/", "category": { "id": 1, "code": "CONF", "fr_label": "Conférences - Séminaires", "en_label": "Conferences - Seminars", "activated": true }, "academic_calendar_category": null, "domains": [], "mementos": [ "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/9/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/111/?format=api" ] } ] }
