Integrated genomics and transcriptomics reveal molecular insights into extreme dietary adaptation in vampire bats

This study integrates genomics and transcriptomics to identify molecular changes in vampire bats adapted to blood-feeding, revealing shifts in gene expression and function across multiple biological pathways.

Binge Feeding Promotes Appetite via Modulating Olfactory Flavor Representation

This study shows binge feeding increases food intake by suppressing olfactory flavor representation in the anterior piriform cortex through specific neuronal activity patterns.

Poor decision making and sociability impairment following central serotonin reduction in inducible TPH2-knockdown rats

This study shows that acute serotonin reduction in rats impairs decision making and social recognition memory, particularly in individuals already prone to poor decision making.

Serotonin drives aggression and social behaviours of laboratory mice in a semi-natural environment

This study investigates how serotonin deficiency affects aggression and social behaviors in mice using home cage monitoring and machine learning, revealing distinct behavioral patterns in Tph2-deficient mice.

LabNet: hardware control software for the Raspberry Pi

LabNet is a C++ control software for Raspberry Pi hardware that enables efficient, networked, and modular automation in laboratory settings.

Coherent multi-level network oscillations create neural filters to favor quiescence over navigation in Drosophila

The paper shows how coherent neural oscillations in Drosophila create filters that promote quiescence over navigation by hierarchically overriding locomotion-promoting networks.

Creating detailed metadata for an R Shiny analysis of circadian behavior sequence data

The paper introduces an R Shiny application for analyzing circadian behavior sequence data from mice, producing behavior variables and promoting FAIR data practices.

A CRISPR-Cas9-engineered mouse model for GPI-anchor deficiency mirrors human phenotypes and exhibits hippocampal synaptic dysfunctions

This paper introduces a CRISPR-Cas9-engineered mouse model for GPI-anchor deficiency that mirrors human phenotypes, including cognitive impairments and epilepsy, and identifies synaptic transmission deficits.

Early-life environmental enrichment generates persistent individualized behavior in mice

This study shows that early-life environmental enrichment in mice leads to persistent individualized behaviors and lasting epigenetic changes in the hippocampus.

Loss of Piccolo function in rats induces Pontocerebellar Hypoplasia type 3-like phenotypes

This study shows that Piccolo knockout rats exhibit anatomical and behavioral features similar to Pontocerebellar Hypoplasia type 3, supporting a causal link between Piccolo function and PCH3.
