Powerful ultrastructural tools are providing new insights into neuronal circuits, revealing a
wealth of anatomically‐defined synaptic connections. These wiring diagrams are …

A proposal for a fully post-phrenological neuroscience that details the evolutionary roots of
functional diversity in brain regions and networks. The computer analogy of the mind has …

We describe an intensity-based glutamate-sensing fluorescent reporter (iGluSnFR) with
signal-to-noise ratio and kinetics appropriate for in vivo imaging. We engineered iGluSnFR …

Plant glutamate receptor-like (GLR) genes encode ion channels with demonstrated roles in
electrical and calcium (Ca2+) signaling. The expansion of the GLR family along the lineage …

C. elegans has a highly developed chemosensory system that enables it to detect a wide
variety of volatile (olfactory) and water-soluble (gustatory) cues associated with food …

Although many properties of the nervous system are shared among animals and systems, it
is not known whether different neuronal circuits use common strategies to guide behaviour …

Although cyclic nucleotide-gated channels mediate sensory transduction in olfaction and
vision, other forms of sensory transduction are independent of these channels …

Variability is a prominent feature of behavior and is an active element of certain behavioral
strategies. To understand how neuronal circuits control variability, we examined the …

Different olfactory cues elicit distinct behaviors such as attraction, avoidance, feeding, or
mating. In the nematode C. elegans, these cues are sensed by a small number of olfactory …

Glutamate (Glu) is the primary excitatory transmitter in the mammalian brain. But, we know
little about the evolutionary history of this adaptation, including the selection of l-glutamate …
