A light-off response characterised by body contraction and ciliary arrest in Acropora coral larvae

Emelie Brodrick, Kei Jokura, Jamie Craggs, Rebecca N. Poon, Hannah Laeverenz-Schlogelhofer, Kirsty Y. Wan, Gáspár Jékely

The paper describes how Acropora coral larvae respond to light dimming by contracting and stopping ciliary movement, which may help them position themselves in reef environments.

Neural Connectome of the Ctenophore Statocyst

Kei Jokura, Sanja Jasek, Lara Niederhaus, Pawel Burkhardt, Gáspár Jékely

The paper uses volume electron microscopy to reconstruct the neural network of the ctenophore statocyst, revealing its coordinating role in gravity sensing.

Nitric oxide feedback to ciliary photoreceptor cells gates a UV avoidance circuit

Kei Jokura, Piotr Słowiński, Nobuo Ueda, Martin Gühmann, Luis Alfonso Yáñez-Guerra, Emily Savage, Kyle C. A. Wedgwood, Gáspár Jékely

The paper identifies a NO-mediated retrograde signaling pathway in ciliary photoreceptor cells that gates a UV avoidance circuit in Platynereis dumerilii larvae.
