Numerous neuropeptide systems have been implicated to coordinately control energy
homeostasis, both centrally and peripherally. However, the vertebrate neuropeptide Y (NPY) …

In 1996, we published a review article (Marder E, Calabrese RL. Physiol Rev 76: 687–717,
1996) describing the state of knowledge about the structure and function of the central …

Neuropeptides and peptide hormones are ancient, widespread signaling molecules that
underpin almost all brain functions. They constitute a broad ligand-receptor network, mainly …

Connectomics has focused primarily on the mapping of synaptic links in the brain; yet it is
well established that extrasynaptic volume transmission, especially via monoamines and …

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 an ever‐changing environment, animals have to continuously adapt their behaviour. The
ability to learn from experience is crucial for animals to increase their chances of survival. It …

Sensitization is a simple form of behavioral plasticity by which an initial stimulus, often
signaling danger, leads to increased responsiveness to subsequent stimuli. Cross-modal …

Multisensory integration is a mechanism that allows organisms to simultaneously sense and
understand external stimuli from different modalities. These distinct signals are transduced …

A hub-and-spoke circuit of neurons connected by gap junctions controls aggregation
behavior and related behavioral responses to oxygen, pheromones, and food in …

Behavioral plasticity allows animals to modulate their behavior based on experience and
environmental conditions. Caenorhabditis elegans exhibits experience-dependent changes …
