Path integration is a widespread navigational strategy in which directional changes and
distance covered are continuously integrated on an outward journey, enabling a straight-line …

One goal in neuroscience is to dissect neuronal connections within the nervous system in
health and disease. To accomplish this, neurons and their extensions need to be imaged …

Most animals have compound eyes, with tens to thousands of lenses attached rigidly to the
exoskeleton. A natural assumption is that all of these species must resort to moving either …

Disruption of autophagy—a key homeostatic process in which cytosolic components are
degraded and recycled through lysosomes—can cause neurodegeneration in tissue culture …

In most animals, a relatively small number of descending neurons (DNs) connect higher
brain centers in the animal's head to circuits and motor neurons (MNs) in the nerve cord of …

Abstract Changes in the abundance and diversity of neural cell types, and their connectivity,
shape brain composition and provide the substrate for behavioral evolution. Although …

Abstract Each fall, eastern North American monarch butterflies in their northern range
undergo a long‐distance migration south to their overwintering grounds in Mexico. Migrants …

In an elaborate form of inter-species exploitation, many insects hijack plant development to
induce novel plant organs called galls that provide the insect with a source of nutrition and a …
