This study tracks the development of heart-brain circuits in larval zebrafish, revealing three stages of functional maturation involving vagal motor, sympathetic, and sensory pathways.

The paper identifies Warming Cells and Cooling Cells in Drosophila that use cross-inhibition to regulate thermal homeostasis through coordinated behavioral responses.

This study develops a method to precisely control odor dynamics and uses it to analyze olfactory neural processing and larval Drosophila behavior.

This study shows how food deprivation alters olfactory behavior in Drosophila larvae by changing neural processing in the antennal lobe through state-dependent circuit dynamics.

The paper maps the complete wiring diagram of the Drosophila larval antennal lobe, revealing two parallel circuits involving projection neurons and local neurons that process olfactory signals.

The paper uses optogenetics and reverse correlation analysis to study navigation dynamics in Drosophila larvae, finding that linear-nonlinear models accurately predict navigational decisions.
