This study shows that newts exhibit behavioral and cellular plasticity when transitioning between aquatic and terrestrial environments, revealing how nervous system changes support adaptation.

This study shows that olfactory fear conditioning in mice leads to heritable changes in olfactory neuron frequencies and behavior across generations.

This paper identifies AAV serotypes effective for transducing amphibian CNS cells and develops tools for neural circuit tracing and manipulation in multiple amphibian species.

This study identifies cell type innovations in salamander forebrain evolution, showing similarities to both sauropsid DVR and mammalian neocortex.

The paper identifies ten distinct glutamatergic neuron types in the salamander amygdala using single-cell RNA sequencing and in situ hybridization.

The paper shows that DAF-16/FoxO and DAF-12/VDR control cellular plasticity both cell-autonomously and through interorgan signaling in C. elegans.
