KCNQs are voltage-gated K+ channels that control neuronal excitability and are mutated in
epilepsy and autism spectrum disorder (ASD). KCNQs have been extensively studied in …

Olfactory and metabolic dysfunctions are intertwined phenomena associated with obesity
and neurodegenerative diseases; yet how mechanistically olfaction regulates metabolic …

Phasic (fast) and tonic (sustained) inhibition of γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) are fundamental
for regulating day-to-day activities, neuronal excitability, and plasticity. However, the …

Glia are typically considered as supporting cells for neural development and synaptic
transmission. Here, we report an active role of a glia in olfactory transduction. As a …

In touch receptors, glia and accessory cells play a key role in mechanosensation. However,
the mechanisms underlying such regulation are poorly understood. We show, for the first …

Much is known about molecular mechanisms by which animals detect pathogenic microbes,
but how animals sense beneficial microbes remains poorly understood. The roundworm …

From single‐cell organisms to complex neural networks, all evolved to provide control
solutions to generate context‐and goal‐specific actions. Neural circuits performing …

Orientation and navigation behaviors of animals are modulated by past experiences.
However, little is known about the mechanisms by which sensory inputs are translated into …

Animals maintain the ability to survive and reproduce by acclimating to environmental
temperatures. We showed here that Caenorhabditis elegans exhibited temperature …

College students' energy-saving behaviors in dormitory buildings are crucial for reducing
energy consumption on university campuses. An information framework aimed at …
