Recent years have witnessed a steep increase in studies on the diverse roles of neuronal
cation-chloride cotransporters (CCCs). The versatility of CCC gene transcription …

GABA neurotransmission requires a specialized set of proteins to synthesize, transport or
respond to GABA. This article reviews results from a genetic strategy in the nematode …

Nanoplastics are widely used in modern life, for example, in cosmetics and daily use
products, and are attracting concern due to their potential toxic effects on environments. In …

Axon regeneration is essential to restore the nervous system after axon injury. However, the
neuronal cell biology that underlies axon regeneration is incompletely understood. Here we …

We analyzed the synaptic physiology of unc-13 mutants in the nematode C. elegans.
Mutants of unc-13 had normal nervous system architecture, and the densities of synapses …

Microplastics (MPs) are ubiquitous environmental contaminants that cause neurotoxicity in
various organisms. MPs are typically affected by light irradiation and undergo photoaging …

The nervous system is critical for intestinal homeostasis and function, but questions remain
regarding its impact on gut immune defense. By screening the major neurotransmitters of C …

Locomotion requires coordinated motor activity throughout an animal's body. In both
vertebrates and invertebrates, chains of coupled central pattern generators (CPGs) are …

Frontotemporal dementia with parkinsonism chromosome 17 type (FTDP-17) is caused by
mutations in MAPT, the gene encoding tau. FTDP-17 begins with executive function deficits …

The activities of many neuronal proteins are modulated by ethanol, but the fundamental
mechanisms underlying behavioral effects of ethanol remain unclear. To identify …
