Kaitlyn’s thesis project is titled “Neural Mechanisms of Visual Motion Transformation into Locomotion in Larval Teleost Fish”. She is studying how continuous visual stimuli are transformed into discrete bouts and continuous swimming in Danio rerio and Danionella cerebrum, respectively.
Kaitlyn and Minel are selected to serve as one of the 2023-2024 OBGE Graduate Student Peer Mentors. They will be mentoring incoming School of Medicine graduate students, helping them acclimate to graduate school, address common questions, and build a professional network of colleagues.
Kaitlyn is working at the Dickinson Lab at the California Institute of Technology for her 3-week long MBL Post-Course Research Award. There, she is studying the asymmetrical activation of Drosophila power muscles during optomotor response through electrophysiological recordings.

Lovett-Barron Lab hosted the Naumann and Ahrens labs at La Jolla. Each group’s members gave short presentations on their research and enjoyed snacks, coffee, and drinks by the beach.
Anne’s poster is titled “Adaptive Bayesian optimization of population-wide neural responses in real time”. This is Anne’s last poster presentation as a postdoc as she is starting her own lab at University of Michigan in January 2023!
Max’s poster is titled “Open-source modularity: Microscopes and general-purpose software (Module Conductor)“. Kaitlyn’s poster is titled “Using Gigapixel Multi-Camera Array Microscopy (MCAM) Imaging to Predict Zebrafish Visuomotor Performance“.
Matt and Minel presented their posters at SfN on Monday. Matt’s interactive poster is titled “Development of visuomotor behaviors and underlying neural circuitry in larval zebrafish“. Minel’s poster is titled “Mapping brain-wide responses to enteric nutritional stimuli in larval zebrafish“.
The Naumann Lab landed in San Diego for the first day of SfN! Minel presented her poster at the Trainee Professional Development Award session, titled “Mapping brain-wide responses to enteric nutritional stimuli in larval zebrafish”.
Kaitlyn is on stage with her presentation and her big smile.
Kaitlyn’s talk is titled “A Systems Neuroscientist’s Dream: Perturbing functional and circuit dynamics of perception”, where she presented on the Marshel et al. (2019) paper.
Matt is presenting his poster with a coffee cup in his hand as always.
Matt’s poster is titled “Development of visuomotor behaviors and underlying neural circuitry in larval zebrafish”.
Kaitlyn and Minel attended the Neural Systems and Behavior (NS&B) course, an intensive 8-week program in Marine Biological Laboratory at Woods Hole, MA. They had the opportunity to work with a variety of model organisms using state-of-the-art techniques.

Karina’s thesis project is titled “Gut mediated control of state-dependent sensory processing”. She is investigating how enteric signals from the gut modulate visual processing in larval zebrafish at different hunger states.
Kaitlyn Fouke joined our lab as a graduate student from the Department of Neurobiology. She is interested in the neural circuitry of sensorimotor integration in the hindbrain during locomotor behaviors.
Karina is awarded the prestigious National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellowship Program, which “recognizes and supports outstanding graduate students who have demonstrated the potential to be high achieving scientists early in their careers”. Her graduate thesis project is focused on “Gut mediated control of state-dependent sensory processing”, investigating how enteric signals modulate visual processing in larval zebrafish.
