Vespa hornet larvae produce a rhythmic 'rasping' sound by rubbing their mandibles against the cell wall of the nest. The call is thought to be a larval provisioning cue. However, detailed observation of larval calls has been limited to a few species, and it is not known whether the call can be influenced by the external environment or internal larval states such as hunger. We conducted laboratory observations of larval calls to investigate the effect of 1) larval stage, 2) daily variation, and 3) larval hunger level. Vespa mandarinia larvae produced sounds independent of light conditions, time of day, worker absence, and hunger level. A key finding of this research is the novel discovery that larvae produce sounds at night, a previously undocumented behavior.

QG group meeting. Speaker: Mirian Tsulaia. Title: "Non-Supersymmetric Heterotic Strings".

CNS unit will host a seminar "New Insights on the Hippocampus Codes using Complex Spatial Navigation", by Prof. Jean-Marc Fellous, the University of Arizona.

This in-person interactive workshop is for graduate students Class2023. This ICOGS* workshop is offered by the Georgia Tech Effective Team Dynamics Initiative and will be facilitated by Prof Mary Lynn Realff (MSE). * (ICOGS) Interdisciplinary Collaboration for Graduate Students Working as part of a team, or group, comes with both benefits and challenges. The benefits include interacting with people who bring different viewpoints, expertise and experiences to the table. However, the challenges include communicating effectively with people who have different backgrounds and dealing constructively with conflict due to different viewpoints. The workshop will explore how diversity in a team can strengthen it, different approaches to dealing with conflict, how to have a “difficult conversation” with both peers and your supervisor, and strategies for avoiding communications problems. Take home tools to improve your team skills will be provided.

Rewards are often subject to chance, resulting in situations where animals might not receive them despite taking appropriate actions. Consequently, to maximize the acquisition of specific probabilistic rewards, animals need to develop strategies for coping with their absence, continuing their pursuit of rewards despite the disappointing outcomes. However, the neural mechanisms for developing such coping strategies are poorly understood. I will introduce our recent studies that reveal the distinct roles of dopamine circuits (Ishino et al., Science Advances, 2023) and basal forebrain acetylcholine circuits (Unpublished) for persistent pursuit of rewards.Rewards are often subject to chance, resulting in situations where animals might not receive them despite taking appropriate actions.
