Establishing how neural function emerges from network properties is a fundamental problem
in neuroscience. Here, to better understand the relationship between the structure and the …

The selection and execution of context-appropriate behaviors is controlled by the integrated
action of neural circuits throughout the brain. However, how activity is coordinated across …

Synapses are a key component of neural circuits, facilitating rapid and specific signalling
between neurons. Synaptic engineering—the synthetic insertion of new synaptic …

Neuropeptides and peptide hormones are ancient, widespread signaling molecules that
underpin almost all brain functions. They constitute a broad ligand-receptor network, mainly …

The circadian clock and its output pathways play a pivotal role in optimizing daily processes.
To obtain insights into how diverse rhythmic physiology and behaviors are orchestrated, we …

Pathogenic infection elicits behaviors that promote recovery and survival of the host. After
exposure to the pathogenic bacterium Pseudomonas aeruginosa PA14, the nematode …

Motor neurons (MNs) constitute an ancient cell type targeted by multiple adult-onset
diseases. It is therefore important to define the molecular makeup of adult MNs in animal …

Animals generate a wide range of highly coordinated motor outputs, which allows them to
execute purposeful behaviors. Individual neurons in the circuits that generate behaviors …

Map** neurotransmitter identities to neurons is key to understanding information flow in a
nervous system. It also provides valuable entry points for studying the development and …

Neuronal communication involves small-molecule transmitters, gap junctions, and
neuropeptides. While neurons often express multiple neuropeptides, our understanding of …
