The paper shows that dystrophic muscle has an elevated precontractile calcium set point sustained by limited PMCA1 export in C. elegans and human myoblasts.

This study uses whole-brain fluorescence imaging in Drosophila to observe spreading depression, showing it initiates at multiple sites and is followed by a refractory period that increases susceptibility.

This study investigates the role of PEZO-1 in C. elegans body wall muscles, showing it differentially affects crawling and swimming by modulating calcium dynamics and muscle activation.

This study shows neuropeptide modulation enhances temperature robustness in two crab species by protecting neuronal function at elevated temperatures.

This study identifies the role of AMsh glia in modulating the duration of nose-touch escape responses in C. elegans by mechanosensory transduction and GABAergic signaling.

The paper shows that Ih-induced membrane potential depolarization maintains the dynamic range of voltage-dependent gap junction signaling in electrical synapses.

This study identifies distinct pezo-1 isoforms in C. elegans with tissue-specific expression and functional roles in food intake regulation.

The paper shows that neuromodulation enables temperature robustness in neuronal circuits and that coupling between rhythms depends on intrinsic circuit properties.

This study shows that inhibitory interneurons influence the initiation of cortical spreading depression by affecting pyramidal cell spike block through dynamic ion concentration changes.

The paper shows descending projection neurons modulate axonal spike initiation in sensory neurons without affecting spike propagation.
