Congratulations to @lauracrucianel1 for the publication of her first book!
Sono entusiasta di annunciare la pubblicazione del mio primo libro 📚 Perfetto per chi vuole esplorare il tatto, il nostro primo senso ed il più sottovalutato🫳🤌🤝Disponibile dal 12 novembre! @UtetLibri #Tatto #LetturaScientifica #Neuroscienze #Psicologia amzn.eu/d/0Tygn9Y

Our new paper on a potentially pain-linked behaviour in insects is out! Bees seemingly ‘rub it better’ like we do: (1/7)

Bees selectively grooming the antenna touched with a heat probe - @matilda_gibbons's latest important study challenging the idea that bees do not feel pain.

Cool work on chicks 😎
Best job on priors ever !
Why do animals start life with priors/predispositions?
We showed that priors enhance learning and generalisation: check our new, colourful work cell.com/iscience/fulltext/S… by

First-sight recognition of touched objects shows that chicks can solve Molyneux's problem: ow.ly/itSE50Rg32J. From @eli_versace @preparedLab, in #BiologyLetters

Research at @QMUL cracked a centuries-old question: can those born blind instantly recognize objects after gaining vision?
Newborn chicks instantly recognized objects that they’d only experienced by touch. @eli_versace @Lauravfreeland

Some say insects clearly don't feel pain because they don't tend injuries. But new evidence from @matilda_gibbons, @evaroseread, @AndrewCrump94, @chittka and team suggests this is wrong. Bees selectively groom the antenna touched by a heat probe. biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

When @eli_versace starts at the beginning, she really means the beginning! Has evolution prepared animals to have expectations about gravity? Looks like chicks do🐥 #ASABwinter2023
