The paper uses ArcLight to image voltage dynamics in mitral/tufted glomeruli of anesthetized mice, revealing odor-evoked excitatory and suppressive signals and concentration-specific responses.

The paper compares the structure and function of the olfactory bulb in surface and cavefish, finding enhanced multisensory integration in cavefish.

This study shows that sleep restoration in aged Drosophila improves glial clearance of damaged axons by restoring Draper expression and transcriptional responses to injury.

The paper investigates DNA damage and cellular stress in short-sleeping Mexican cavefish, finding elevated DNA damage markers and reduced DNA repair responses compared to surface fish.

This study uses computer vision to analyze locomotor behavior in Lake Malawi cichlids, revealing cryptic behavioral differences that may contribute to niche partitioning.

The paper examines multi-trait evolution in cavefish, finding shared and distinct genetic mechanisms and evidence for pleiotropy or linkage in trait evolution.

This study shows that oca2 mutations in Mexican tetra affect prey capture behavior, with albino fish using vision in light and lateral line in dark, impacting competitive success in different environments.

The paper investigates postprandial sleep in Mexican cavefish and surface fish, finding that larvae exhibit postprandial sleep while adults do not, suggesting its role in energy conservation.

This study shows aging impairs sugar taste response in fruit flies, but not fatty acids, and links this to specific neuronal changes and AD-like mechanisms.

This study investigates the role of Neurofibromin 1 (Nf1) in regulating sleep depth and metabolic rate in Drosophila, finding that Nf1 deficiency disrupts sleep consolidation and gut homeostasis.

The paper maps structural brain evolution to anatomical modules by analyzing volume and shape variability in cavefish and hybrids.

The paper shows that Mexican cavefish maintain functional connectivity in the tectum despite losing retinal input, with changes in the tectum being genetically distinct from eye loss.

The paper generates brain atlases of surface and cavefish to identify convergent neuroanatomical and functional changes associated with behavioral evolution.

The paper identifies increased Hypocretin/Orexin signaling as a genetic basis for sleep loss in Mexican cavefish compared to surface fish.
