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

This paper demonstrates sonogenetic cardiac pacing using hsTRPA1-expressing cardiomyocytes, showing ultrasound can noninvasively modulate heart rate in mice.

This study uses C. elegans to show that foraging decisions involve a switch from exploration to exploitation based on sensory input, satiety, and learned environmental statistics.

The paper shows that nematodes use left/right asymmetric neurons to process salt cues, revealing evolutionary changes in gustatory systems despite limited neuron numbers.

This study identifies conserved autism-associated genes that regulate social feeding behavior in C. elegans through distinct synaptic mechanisms.

This study shows how SEB-3 and NLP-49 signaling shifts across defensive behaviors in C. elegans in response to predator threats.

The paper identifies and characterizes a skin microbiome on C. elegans, showing that environmental microbes protect the cuticle in harsh conditions.

The paper shows that the neurexin {gamma} isoform is required for glycerol avoidance in adult C. elegans, while other isoforms are needed in juveniles.

This study shows dopamine signaling in C. elegans regulates egg-laying behavior in response to predator presence, with specific receptor combinations mediating predator-induced and baseline egg-laying changes.

This paper shows that food deprivation in C. elegans reduces repellent sensitivity, mediated by intestinal transcription factors and insulin signaling to neurons, leading to riskier behaviors.

This study shows that Pristionchus pacificus reprograms its foraging strategy based on predatory and territorial motivations when attacking C. elegans.

This study shows that neuropeptides regulate intestinal integrity and aging in invertebrates, with effects modulated by the germline.

This paper demonstrates that expressing human TRPA1 channels in neurons allows ultrasound to control neural activity in the intact mammalian brain.

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.

This study identifies two mechanosensitive proteins, TRP-4 and MEC-4, that work in parallel to mediate ultrasound-evoked behavioral responses in C. elegans.

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.

This study identifies sulfolipids secreted by predators that trigger fear-like responses in C. elegans through specific sensory neurons and signaling pathways.
