Congratulations to undergraduate Paul Perez and MS student Hanna Butler-Struben for publishing their work in Invertebrate Neuroscience. Their paper titled “The selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor fluoxetine increases spontaneous afferent firing, but not mechanonociceptive sensitization, in octopus” is the result of an independent research project led by Paul for the past year, with assistance from Hanna. Great work Paul and Hanna! Read the full text for all the details.
