The power of any genetic model organism is derived, in part, from the ease with which gene
expression can be manipulated. The short generation time and invariant developmental …

Establishing how neural function emerges from network properties is a fundamental problem
in neuroscience. Here, to better understand the relationship between the structure and the …

An animal's nervous system changes as its body grows from birth to adulthood and its
behaviours mature,,,,,,–. The form and extent of circuit remodelling across the connectome is …

The nematode Caenorhabditis elegans is a research model organism particularly suited to
the mechanistic understanding of synapse genesis in the nervous system. Armed with …

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

Changes in an animal's behavior and internal state are accompanied by widespread
changes in activity across its brain. However, how neurons across the brain encode …

Modern recording techniques enable large-scale measurements of neural activity in a
variety of model organisms. The dynamics of neural activity shed light on how organisms …

The classification of neurons into distinct types reveals hierarchical taxonomic relationships
that reflect the extent of similarity between neuronal cell types. At the base of such …

Neuropeptides are abundant signaling molecules that control neuronal activity and behavior
in all animals. Owing in part to its well-defined and compact nervous system, Caenorhabditis …

One of the reasons that most multicellular animals survive and thrive is because of the
adaptable and plastic nature of their nervous systems. For an organism to survive, it is …
