Finally out in @natneuro.nature.com! A forgotten memory isn't always gone. We show that forgotten memories persist as silent memory traces, can be recovered by reminders, and can even be reconstructed into false memories. Excited to finally share this work! www.nature.com/articles/s41...
Creating true and false memories from forgotten information in Drosophila - Nature NeuroscienceForgotten memories in Drosophila persist as silent memory traces and can be recovered by reminder cues.

If you’re at the FENS Forum, consider to join our symposium: S28 – Flexible Memory Systems: Adaptive and Maladaptive Pathways! Today Hall D at 15:40! Kate Wassum, Mihaela Iordanova, Scott Waddell, and Jan Haaker. @fensorg.bsky.social #FENS2026 fens2026.abstractserver.com/program/#/de...
Programfens2026.abstractserver.comWe have recruited another rockstar! Welcome Caitie
Caitie McCaffertyHappy to finally share that I will be starting my independent group at the @fmiscience.bsky.social in Feb 2027 in a vibrant new environment. We will use integrative in situ structural cell biology methods to investigate ciliary structure and dynamics in several model (and non-model 👀) systems!!
Spreading the word!
FMI scienceSpread the word: We’re hiring a Director of Operations to lead scientific support at the FMI. This senior role enables cutting-edge research by partnering with scientists, overseeing technology platforms, ensuring safety & compliance, and representing the FMI externally: www.fmi.ch/education-ca...
A privilege to have Julia with us.
FMI scienceIn this interview, @juliabatki.bsky.social, FMI’s newest group leader, reflects on the early curiosity that drew her to science, why FMI is the right home for her lab, how studying cell clearance could help us understand disease, and her love of improv. www.fmi.ch/news-events/...
Congrats to golddenn.bsky.social and @hannah-haberkern.bsky.social and all others.
Dennis Goldschmidt (he/him) (@golddenn.bsky.social)Computational Neuro-Drosophilist at the FMI Basel / Felsenberg Lab.golddenn.bsky.socialHannah HaberkernHow does an animal choose between exploring for a better food source and taking advantage of a known one? Our recent work in Current Biology demonstrates how recent feeding and metabolic state dynamically influence fly local search. bit.ly/3PfrIv3 #Science #Neurosky #Foraging #Drosophila
Amazing!
Rebecca JordanFirst preprint from the lab! Using intracellular recordings & analysis of 2-photon imaging data, we show that spiking & neuromodulatory input during experience drive a reorganization of visuomotor inputs in V1 layer 2/3 neurons, consistent with enhanced visuomotor cancellation - bioRxiv link below.
This is so cool! Congrats to @andrewstraw.bsky.social and team.
Andrew StrawUsing our bee-tracking drone, we discovered that honey bees 🐝 have highly precise and individual routes. Now published at @currentbiology.bsky.social : doi.org/10.1016/j.cu...

FMI scienceNow out in @currentbiology.bsky.social: neuroscientists in the lab of @felsenberg.bsky.social found that in fruit flies, re-tasting a sugar reward can weaken past memories, pointing to new ways to safely update harmful ones. www.fmi.ch/news-events/...
