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.

The paper identifies bacterial signals that activate enteric sensory neurons in C. elegans and shows how pathogenic bacteria can block this activation.

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

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.

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.

This study shows how a single neuron in C. elegans uses multiple transmission modes to coordinate different motor behaviors during egg-laying.

The paper shows that blocking programmed cell death in C. elegans leads to extra neurons that alter specific behaviors like reversal frequency and duration.

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.

This study shows that C. elegans makes food choices as if maximizing subjective value, using a utility function similar to humans and requiring dopamine signaling.

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

This study shows that developmental dauer arrest in C. elegans alters chemoreceptor expression, leading to changes in olfactory behavior and attraction to food-related odorants.

The paper shows that diverse states and stimuli modulate olfactory receptor expression in C. elegans to influence food-seeking behavior.

The paper identifies a neural circuit in C. elegans that enables flexible control of persistent behavioral states through mutual inhibition between neuromodulatory systems and sensory input.

The paper uses behavioral profiling in C. elegans to show dopamine couples motor programs across behavioral states.
