Genetically encoded calcium indicators (GECIs) can be used to image activity in defined
neuronal populations. However, current GECIs produce inferior signals compared to …

Recent efforts in neuroscience research have been aimed at obtaining detailed anatomical
neuronal wiring maps as well as information on how neurons in these networks engage in …

Ants communicate via large arrays of pheromones and possess expanded, highly complex
olfactory systems, with antennal lobes in the brain comprising up to∼ 500 glomeruli. This …

Carbon dioxide is produced as a by-product of cellular respiration by all aerobic organisms
and thus serves for many animals as an important indicator of food, mates, and predators …

CO2 is both a critical regulator of animal physiology and an important sensory cue for many
animals for host detection, food location, and mate finding. The free-living soil nematode …

Genetically encoded calcium indicators (GECIs), based on recombinant fluorescent proteins,
have been engineered to observe calcium transients in living cells and organisms. Through …

ADAR2, an RNA editing enzyme that converts specific adenosines to inosines in certain pre-
mRNAs, often leading to amino acid substitutions in the encoded proteins, is mainly …
