Experimental efforts to understand how the brain represents, stores and processes
information require high-fidelity recordings of multiple different forms of neural activity within …

Calcium ions generate versatile intracellular signals that control key functions in all types of
neurons. Imaging calcium in neurons is particularly important because calcium signals exert …

Aedes aegypti mosquitoes are a persistent human foe, transmitting arboviruses including
dengue when they feed on human blood. Mosquitoes are intensely attracted to body odor …

A globally invasive form of the mosquito Aedes aegypti specializes in biting humans, making
it an efficient disease vector. Host-seeking female mosquitoes strongly prefer human odour …

The olfactory system must recognize and discriminate amongst an enormous variety of
chemicals in the environment. To contend with such diversity, insects have evolved a family …

The neurotransmitter acetylcholine (ACh) regulates a diverse array of physiological
processes throughout the body. Despite its importance, cholinergic transmission in the …

Animals must set behavioural priority in a context-dependent manner and switch from one
behaviour to another at the appropriate moment,–. Here we probe the molecular and …

Genetically encoded calcium indicators (GECIs) can be used to image activity in defined
neuronal populations. However, current GECIs produce inferior signals compared to …

With few exceptions biological tissues strongly scatter light, making high-resolution deep
imaging impossible for traditional—including confocal—fluorescence microscopy. Nonlinear …

Fruit flies are attracted by a diversity of odors that signal the presence of food, potential
mates, or attractive egg-laying sites. Most Drosophila olfactory neurons express two types of …
