This study investigates turn-taking aggressive behavior in Siamese fighting fish, identifying a brain region involved in persistence but not coordination of social interactions.

This study develops and validates genetic manipulation techniques in betta fish, including CRISPR/Cas9 knockout, knockin, and Tol2 transgenesis, to enable functional studies of genes involved in viability and pigmentation.

The paper shows that distinct neural circuits in C. elegans mediate the same CO2 attraction behavior at different life stages, with insulin signaling modulating these circuits.
