Deep Neural Networks to Register and Annotate Cells in Moving and Deforming Nervous Systems

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

Neural Sequences Underlying Directed Turning in C. elegans

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.

Pathogen infection induces sickness behaviors by recruiting neuromodulatory systems linked to stress and satiety in C. elegans

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.

Brain-wide representations of behavior spanning multiple timescales and states in C. elegans

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

Diverse states and stimuli tune olfactory receptor expression levels to modulate food-seeking behavior

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

A neural circuit for flexible control of persistent behavioral states

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.
