Deconstructing a behavioral state: parallel neural integrators control distinct features of an aversive behavioral state in C. elegans

Saba Baskoylu, Amit Kundra, Sarah M. Pugliese, Jungsoo Kim, Kamal Maher, Alex W. Hiser, Frank Meng, Cassi Estrem, Di Kang, Eric Bueno, Steven W. Flavell

The paper identifies parallel neural integrators in C. elegans that control distinct features of an aversive behavioral state by integrating sensory stimuli over different timescales.

Neural Sequences Underlying Directed Turning in C. elegans

Talya S Kramer, Flossie K. Wan, Sarah M. Pugliese, Adam A. Atanas, Alex W. Hiser, Jinyue Luo, Eric Bueno, Steven W. Flavell

The paper identifies neural sequences in C. elegans that coordinate error-correcting turns during olfactory navigation, showing how tyramine modulates these sequences to link sensory cues to motor actions.
