The sleep of bees. So human
Researchers at CIMeC UniTrento have observed brain activity in sleeping #bees🐝
The study reveals striking similarities with human sleep and offers insight into pollinator health and memory.

Comparison of odorant concentrations in experimental studies, headspace of natural sources, and detection thresholds in rodents.
Glad to share this review of odor concentrations in nature versus experiments, just out in J Neurosci. Spoiler: they are far apart. We discuss implications for olfactory neuroscience and welcome debate. With @neuroboz.bsky.social @dewanlab.bsky.social, Betty Hong. www.jneurosci.org/content/45/1...

Alcohol makes male fruit flies sexier! New study from Ian Keesey, Bill Hansson et al. in Science Advances shows that alcohol boosts sex pheromone production in male D. melanogaster, making them more attractive to females. But too much is a turnoff!

Evaluating animal consciousness
An emerging field shows how animal feelings can be studied scientifically
@jeffsebo.bsky.social @birchlse.bsky.social and I put a lot of philosophy into our new Science Perspective on animal consciousness. Mill's analogical argument + inference to the best explanation + careful experiments = justification for consciousness in many animals. Where might it end?
