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

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.

Deep Neural Networks to Register and Annotate Cells in Moving and Deforming Nervous Systems

This paper introduces deep neural networks for aligning and annotating cells in moving nervous systems, achieving high accuracy in registration and cell type identification.

Experience instructs the refinement of feature-selectivity in the mouse primary visual thalamus

The paper shows that experience during development shapes feature-selectivity in the mouse primary visual thalamus, independent of cortical feedback and dependent on retinogeniculate refinement.

Pathogen infection induces sickness behaviors by recruiting neuromodulatory systems linked to stress and satiety in C. elegans

This study identifies neuromodulatory systems involved in sickness behaviors in C. elegans infected with Pseudomonas aeruginosa, showing distinct roles of neuropeptides in regulating feeding, quiescence, and survival.

Dissecting the Functional Organization of the C. elegans Serotonergic System at Whole-Brain Scale

The paper investigates how serotonin release from a specific neuron in C. elegans affects whole-brain activity and behavior by identifying core and interacting serotonin receptors and mapping their expression and functional roles.

Brain-wide representations of behavior spanning multiple timescales and states in C. elegans

The paper maps how neuron classes in C. elegans encode behavior across different states and timescales using brain-wide activity recordings and probabilistic models.

Ammonium Pretreatment and Addition Improve Stability of Environmental Parameters and Biogas Production under Anaerobic Co-digestion of Rice Straw and Dairy Manure

This paper shows that ammonium hydroxide pretreatment enhances biogas production and environmental stability in anaerobic digestion of rice straw and dairy manure.
