This study shows that hunger modulates how Berghia stephanieae responds to olfactory and contact cues from its prey, with different effects on avoidance thresholds.

MolluscaGenes provides a centralized transcriptomic database for mollusks, enabling phylogenetic analysis of the nAChR superfamily and revealing lineage-specific expansions and novel clades.

This study investigates social predation in the nudibranch Berghia stephanieae, showing group hunting of sea anemones without stable roles or clear aggregation cues.

This study uses scRNA-seq and HCR to map gene expression in the nervous system of Berghia stephanieae, revealing distinct cellular regions and marker genes for neuronal and glial classes.

The paper introduces sample preparation methods for volume electron microscopy in the gastropod mollusc Berghia stephanieae, addressing challenges in cryopreservation and processing time.

The paper identifies ELH-expressing neurons in the nudibranch Berghia stephanieae across developmental stages and reproductive states, showing their role in egg-laying and potential broader functions.

The paper constructs a chromosome-level genome for Berghia stephanieae to study clade-specific gene expression in novel and conserved tissues, finding no clear trend between clade-specific gene proportion and tissue novelty.

mEMbrain provides an interactive MATLAB tool for connectomic segmentation, enabling user-friendly analysis of EM datasets with pre-trained networks and ground truth annotations.

The paper shows that bursting in a four-neuron network is an emergent property driven by complementary synaptic and membrane properties of neurons in competing modules.

This paper introduces a method to rapidly clear and label large tissue samples using magnetohydrodynamic force, enabling high-resolution fluorescence microscopy.

The paper shows that specific serotonin receptor subtypes in C2 neurons correlate with swimming behavior across three species of marine molluscs.
