Minel and Whit have each completed their PhD!
/Congratulations Drs. Jacobs and Arinel!!
Welcome Camille!
/Camille has joined the Naumann Lab! Welcome Camille!!
Another year, another Cosyne
/Kaitlyn and Jacob each presented their posters at Cosyne, this year back in Lisbon, Portgual!
Kaitlyn’s poster: All-Optical Mapping of Functional Connectomes of Visuomotor Circuits in Larval Zebrafish
Jacob’s poster: OPhELIA: Optimal Photostimulation EnsembLes for Iterative Activity maps
The Naumann Lab goes to Cosyne!
/Kaitlyn and Jacob presented their poster, “Functional connectivity-constrained simulations of visuomotor circuits in zebrafish”.. and sampled some Montreal-style bagels and sugar pie (not shown)!
Dinner at Namu
/A chilly night for Durham, but one which was warmed up by conversations of science, not-science, and a marching band playing in the background.
A stroll through Duke Gardens...
/
We walked, we talked, and we listened to a conversation between two Ruddy Shelducks. Then a mallard came and claimed their spot.
White Elephant returns!
/
Poetry, fish slippers, and Naumann Lab swag all made an appearance.
Happy holidays!
Cleo and Owen passed their preliminary exams!
/
Congrats to both of you!
Minel is presenting a poster at the 4D Cellular Physiology Conference at Janelia!
/Minel’s poster is titled “Mapping brain-wide responses to gut-mediated signals in larval zebrafish”.

Whit and Kaitlyn are presenting a poster at COSYNE in Portugal!
/Their poster is titled “A biologically constrained model of motion-processing neuron circuitry in the optomotor response”.
Christmas dinner at Eva's!
/Naumann Lab has gathered around the table for a Christmas dinner at Eva’s. This is the only photo we have from the event (because good vibes), so y’all are gonna have to take our word for it..
White Elephant in the Lab!
/White Elephant in the Naumann Lab means literally a white elephant! 👀
Lab dinner at Geer Street Garden!
/
Matt blesses us with his presence, and we finally updated our lab photo!
Elysia is presenting a poster at the ABRCMS in Phoenix!
/Elysia’s poster is titled “Behavioral characterization and whole-brain activity mapping of psychedelics in zebrafish". She has also received a poster award in neuroscience!
Naumann Lab at SfN in Washington, DC!
/Kaitlyn’s poster is titled “Neural circuits underlying optomotor responses (OMR) in larval teleost fish”.
Whit’s poster is titled “Functional and molecular characterization of motion-processing neurons in the larval zebrafish”.
Minel’s poster is titled “Mapping brain-wide responses to gut-mediated signals in larval zebrafish”.
Finally, Eva gave a talk in the Behavioral Individuality as a Neuroscientific Variable Minisymposium. Her talk is titled “Predicting behavioral variability from visually-evoked neural activity across the zebrafish brain”.
