Coordinated transitions between mutually exclusive motor states are central to behavioral
decisions. During locomotion, the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans spontaneously cycles …

Animal behavior is organized into nested temporal patterns that span multiple timescales.
This behavior hierarchy is believed to arise from a hierarchical neural architecture: Neurons …

Animals must integrate sensory cues with their current behavioral context to generate a
suitable response. How this integration occurs is poorly understood. Previously, we …

The capacity of animals to respond to hazardous stimuli in their surroundings is crucial for
their survival. In mammals, complex evaluations of the environment require large numbers …

Sensory neurons specialize in detecting and signaling the presence of diverse
environmental stimuli. Neuronal injury or disease may undermine such signaling …

pH-sensitive fluorescent proteins are widely used to study synaptic vesicle (SV) fusion and
recycling. When targeted to the lumen of SVs, fluorescence of these proteins is quenched by …

Caenorhabditis elegans is a versatile model organism for exploring complex biological
systems. Microbes and the external environment can affect the nervous system and drive …

Vertebrate and insect olfactory systems generate diversity in odor perception using
combinatorial coding, where individual odorant molecules activate unique but overlap** …

To survive in a complex environment, animals must respond to external cues, eg, to escape
threats or to navigate towards favorable locations. Navigating requires transition between …

Abstract pH-sensitive fluorescent proteins are widely used to study synaptic vesicle (SV)
fusion and recycling. When targeted to the lumen of SVs, fluorescence of these proteins is …
