Moths and Perhaps Other Animals Rely on Precise Timing of Neural Spikes

By capturing and analyzing nearly all of the brain signals sent to the wing muscles of hawk moths, researchers have shown that precise timing within rapid sequences of neural signal spikes is essential to controlling the flight muscles necessary for the moths to eat.
Fall 2019 Graduates

Congratulations to College of Sciences Fall 2019 Graduates

They chose to study at Georgia Tech. Once here, they discovered that the academic rigor and leading-edge science research they’ve heard so much about is true – and demands their best. Some found Tech overwhelming at times, but all succeeded.
