Huppertz M, Wilhelm J, Grenier V, Schneider M, Falt T, Porzberg N, et al.
Science . 2024 Feb; 383(6685):890-897. PMID: 38386755
Recordings of the physiological history of cells provide insights into biological processes, yet obtaining such recordings is a challenge. To address this, we introduce a method to record transient cellular...

Fenk L, Avritzer S, Weisman J, Nair A, Randt L, Mohren T, et al.
Nature . 2022 Oct; 612(7938):116-122. PMID: 36289333
Most animals have compound eyes, with tens to thousands of lenses attached rigidly to the exoskeleton. A natural assumption is that all of these species must resort to moving either...

Fenk L, Kim A, Maimon G
Curr Biol . 2021 Oct; 31(20):4608-4619.e3. PMID: 34644548
From mammals to insects, locomotion has been shown to strongly modulate visual-system physiology. Does the manner in which a locomotor act is initiated change the modulation observed? We performed patch-clamp...

Kim A, Fenk L, Lyu C, Maimon G
Cell . 2017 Jan; 168(1-2):280-294.e12. PMID: 28065412
Vision influences behavior, but ongoing behavior also modulates vision in animals ranging from insects to primates. The function and biophysical mechanisms of most such modulations remain unresolved. Here, we combine...

Fenk L, Poehlmann A, Straw A
Curr Biol . 2014 Dec; 24(24):2913-9. PMID: 25454785
Visual object fixation and figure-ground discrimination in Drosophila are robust behaviors requiring sophisticated computation by the visual system, yet the neural substrates remain unknown. Recent experiments in walking flies revealed...

Fenk L, Schmid A
J Exp Biol . 2011 Oct; 214(Pt 21):3658-63. PMID: 21993795
We investigated changes in the eye muscle activity in the spider Cupiennius salei as a response to temporal intensity modulations. These spiders are known to enhance eye muscle activity in...

Fenk L, Heidlmayr K, Lindner P, Schmid A
PLoS One . 2011 Jan; 5(12):e15838. PMID: 21209876
In this study we describe a distinctive pigment ring that appears in spider eyes after ecdysis and successively decreases in size in the days thereafter. Although pigment stops in spider...

J Exp Biol . 2010 Aug; 213(Pt 18):3111-7. PMID: 20802111
Cupiennius salei (Araneae, Ctenidae) has, like most spiders, eight camera-type eyes. The anterior median eyes are called principal eyes and have a movable retina; all of the other eyes are...
