This study identifies key molecular determinants of ligand selectivity and sensitivity in a dopamine-gated ion channel from Daphnia, revealing how structural changes affect pharmacology.

The paper identifies novel dopamine and acetylcholine ionotropic receptors in the octopus visual system, revealing distinct neurochemical mechanisms compared to mammals.

The paper identifies new inhibitory acetylcholine-gated ion channels in C. elegans with diverse ligand binding properties and reveals neurons expressing both excitatory and inhibitory channels.

This study identifies a sex-specific role of the lury-1 neuropeptide in feeding and mating behaviors of male C. elegans.

The paper identifies betaine's role in C. elegans behavior through a newly characterized ligand-gated ion channel, LGC-41, produced by specific neurons.

The paper identifies a novel serotonin-gated ion channel, LGC-50, essential for aversive olfactory learning in C. elegans.
