Many sensory systems in cells and organisms share a recurring property called fold-change
detection (FCD). FCD describes a system whose dynamics–including amplitude and …

Evolution repeatedly converges on only a few regulatory circuit designs that achieve a given
function. This simplicity helps us understand biological networks. However, why so few …

Identifying the environmental information and computations that drive sensory detection is
key for understanding animal behavior. Using experimental and theoretical analysis of AWC …

Two central biophysical laws describe sensory responses to input signals. One is a
logarithmic relationship between input and output, and the other is a power law relationship …

Cell competition is a phenomenon originally described as the competition between cell
populations with different genetic backgrounds; losing cells with lower fitness are eliminated …

Visual processing transforms the complexities of the visual world into useful information.
Ciona, an invertebrate chordate and close relative of the vertebrates, has one of the simplest …

Vein formation is an important process in plant leaf development. The phytohormone auxin
is known as the most important molecule for the control of venation patterning; and the …

The cells' ability to adapt to changes in the external environment is crucial for the survival of
many organisms. There are two broad classes of signalling networks that achieve perfect …

Recommendation systems are prevalent on the Internet but are prone to feedback loops that
cause 'echo chamber'effects. We present an allostatic regulator for recommendation systems …

Recent technological advances in high-resolution imaging and artificial modulation of
genetic functions at different times and regions have enabled direct observations of the …
