Chemosensory neurons translate perception of external chemical cues, including odorants,
tastants, and pheromones, into information that drives attraction or avoidance motor …

Despite recent improvements in microscope technologies, segmenting and tracking cells in
three-dimensional time-lapse images (3D+ T images) to extract their dynamic positions and …

The nematode C. elegans exhibits complex thermal experience-dependent navigation
behaviors in response to environmental temperature changes of as little as 0.01° C over a> …

A comparative analysis of animal behavior (eg, male vs. female groups) has been widely
used to elucidate behavior specific to one group since pre-Darwinian times. However, big …

Throughout history, humans have relied on plants as a source of medication, flavoring, and
food. Plants synthesize large chemical libraries and release many of these compounds into …

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 …

Emotional appraisal in humans is often considered a centrally mediated process by which
sensory signals, void of emotional meaning, are assessed by integrative brain structures …

Since the 1970s, the emergence and expansion of novel methods for calcium ion (Ca2+)
detection have found diverse applications in vitro and in vivo across a series of model …

The ability of animals to effectively locate and navigate toward food sources is central for
survival. Here, using C. elegans nematodes, we reveal the neural mechanism underlying …

Olfactory integration is important for survival in a natural habitat. However, how the nervous
system processes signals of two odorants present simultaneously to generate a coherent …
