Intricate response dynamics enhances stimulus discrimination in the resource-limited C. elegans chemosensory system

The paper shows how C. elegans uses dynamic neuron interactions to enhance discrimination of similar chemical stimuli despite having a limited number of sensory neurons.

Principles for coding associative memories in a compact neural network

This study identifies how associative memories are encoded in C. elegans neural networks, showing short-term memories are in sensory systems while long-term memories are in inner layers.

A GPCR negative feedback loop underlies efficient coding of external stimuli

The paper shows how a GPCR negative feedback loop in C. elegans enables efficient encoding of complex chemical stimuli through adaptation and gradient sensitivity.

Inheritance of associative memories in C. elegans ‎nematodes

This study shows that associative memories in C. elegans can be inherited across generations, providing a fitness advantage through stress response activation.

Salient Experiences are Represented by Unique Transcriptional Signatures in the Brain

The paper identifies unique transcriptional signatures in the mouse brain that represent distinct salient experiences and their affective attributes.
