A mechanical parameter of coasting varies bout to bout and predicts swim timing in larval zebrafish

This study shows that larval zebrafish actively modulate their coasting mechanics between swim bouts, which predicts swim timing and suggests active control of post-propulsion movement.

Axons organize into micro-tracts around the cortical vasculature

The paper examines the organization of axons around cortical vasculature in mice, finding that axons form micro-tracts around capillaries, which may facilitate neurovascular coupling.

A framework for analyzing C. elegans neural activity using multi-dimensional hyperbolic embedding

The paper analyzes C. elegans neural activity in response to bacterial stimuli, showing that hyperbolic embedding better describes neural dynamics than Euclidean space.

A neuron-glia circuit anticipates hypoxia to regulate organismal oxygen use

The paper identifies a neuron-glia circuit in zebrafish that anticipates hypoxia by integrating behavioral intent and physiological state to prevent internal oxygen depletion.

Neural network features distinguish chemosensory stimuli in Caenorhabditis elegans.

The paper uses graph-theoretic features of neural activity in C. elegans to predict chemosensory stimulus identity and valence, showing these features outperform activity measures alone.

Neural pathways linking hypoxia with pectoral fin movements in Danio rerio

The paper identifies neural pathways in zebrafish larvae that link hypoxia detection by skin-resident neuroendocrine cells to increased pectoral fin movements and heart activity.
