Dynamics of odor-source localization: Insights from real-time odor plume recordings and head-motion tracking in freely moving mice

This study combines real-time odor plume recordings with head-motion tracking in freely moving mice to show that head-pitch motions correlate with plume encounters during odor-source localization.

Molecular markers of mechanosensation in glycinergic neurons in the avian lumbosacral spinal cord

The paper identifies glycinergic neurons in the avian lumbosacral organ (LSO) that express myosin7a and epsin, suggesting a mechanosensory role in avian spinal cord function.

Using low-cost alcohol sensors to monitor real-time olfactory information during odor-guided navigation

This paper presents low-cost alcohol sensors for real-time monitoring of olfactory information during odor-guided navigation in rodents, showing robust correlations with controlled ethanol stimuli.
