This study identifies a neural circuit in Drosophila that computes odor motion by transforming bilateral odor inputs into direction-selective signals.

This study shows that hypothalamic Agrp neurons regulate age-specific sociability, with their activity critical for social behavior during adolescence but not adulthood.

This study shows that fruit flies use odor gradient and motion cues differently depending on plume structure, with gradients guiding in smooth plumes and motion in turbulent ones.

This study identifies visual projection neurons in Drosophila that encode parallax signals for distance estimation during free locomotion, showing both direction-selective and non-direction-selective neurons contribute to this process.

SqueakOut is a lightweight autoencoder for segmenting mouse ultrasonic vocalizations from spectrograms, achieving a Dice score of 90.22.

This study shows that loss of the paternally inherited Magel2 gene in mice reduces separation-induced vocalizations and alters maternal behavior.
