Temperature is a universal cue and regulates many essential processes ranging from
enzymatic reactions to species migration. Due to the profound impact of temperature on …

Caenorhabditis elegans lives in a complex habitat in which they routinely experience large
fluctuations in temperature, and encounter physical obstacles that vary in size and …

The complex, interconnected architecture of cell-signaling networks makes it challenging to
disentangle how cells process extracellular information to make decisions. We have …

Neurons are highly polarized cells that face the fundamental challenge of
compartmentalizing a vast and diverse repertoire of proteins in order to function properly …

C. elegans is widely used to dissect how neural circuits and genes generate behavior.
During locomotion, worms initiate backward movement to change locomotion direction …

The human perception system's information processing is intricately linked to the nonlinear
response and gating effect of neurons. While piezoionics holds potential in emulating the …

Transient receptor potential (TRP) proteins are cation channels that comprise a superfamily
of molecular sensors that enable animals to detect a wide variety of environmental stimuli …

The wiring architecture of neuronal networks is assumed to be a strong determinant of their
dynamical computations. An ongoing effort in neuroscience is therefore to generate …

The cornea, as a dynamic and responsive tissue, constantly interacts with mechanical forces
in order to maintain its structural integrity, barrier function, transparency and refractive …

Animal behaviors are commonly organized into long-lasting states that coordinately impact
the generation of diverse motor outputs such as feeding, locomotion, and grooming …
