This study shows that phosphagen systems in Drosophila motor neurons are critical for sustaining neurotransmitter release at high firing frequencies, not for ATP provision.

This study shows that oca2 mutations in Mexican tetra affect prey capture behavior, with albino fish using vision in light and lateral line in dark, impacting competitive success in different environments.

The paper analyzes ultrastructural data from C. elegans neurons to assess mitochondrial distribution relative to synapses, finding limited sub-cellular control over mitochondrial placement in fine caliber neurons.

The paper quantifies power demand fluctuations in motor nerve terminals and identifies phosphagen systems as critical for ATP buffering during synaptic activity.

The paper generates brain atlases of surface and cavefish to identify convergent neuroanatomical and functional changes associated with behavioral evolution.
