The paper shows that Hydra vulgaris exhibits phototaxis only when starved, with satiety affecting jump rate but not orientation or distance.

This study uses cell-type specific imaging in Hydra to show that neurons differentiate terminally before re-establishing functional neural circuits during regeneration.

This paper demonstrates in vivo fluorescence imaging with a flat, lensless microscope achieving high spatial resolution and large field of view.

This study shows Hydra vulgaris maintains stable thermal responses despite losing half its neurons through caloric restriction or surgery.
