Automated analysis of C. elegans behavior by LabGym: an open-source, AI-powered platform

The paper introduces LabGym, an open-source AI platform for automated analysis of C. elegans locomotion behavior in multi-worm videos with high accuracy.

Neurotype matching in monogamous rodents is modulated by early-life sleep experience

The paper investigates neurotype matching in prairie voles by manipulating early-life sleep experience and uses deep learning to analyze social interactions.

Intradental mechano-nociceptors serve as sentinels that prevent tooth damage

This study identifies intradental high-threshold mechano-nociceptors that detect tooth damage, produce pain, and trigger protective reflexes.

An improved FLARE system for recording and manipulating neuronal activity

The paper improves the FLARE system to better record and manipulate neuronal activity by enhancing calcium sensitivity and signal-to-background ratio in Drosophila models.

Intestinal stem cells enhance local mucosal immunity through apoptotic body phagocytosis

This study shows that intestinal stem cells (ISCs) enhance local mucosal immunity by engulfing apoptotic bodies, which leads to increased T cell activity through TNF signaling.

Quantifying social roles in multi-animal videos using subject-aware deep-learning

This paper introduces a subject-aware deep-learning system to quantify social roles in multi-animal groups across species and assays.

isoTarget: a genetic method for analyzing the functional diversity of splicing isoforms in vivo

The paper introduces isoTarget, a genetic method to block specific splicing isoforms and tag them for analysis, revealing their distinct roles in neuronal development.
