This paper quantifies habituation and potentiation in Stentor coeruleus by analyzing response profiles across stimulation frequencies and recovery periods, revealing frequency-sensitive potentiation and decoupled recovery and potentiation processes.

This study demonstrates associative learning in the protozoan Stentor coeruleus through Pavlovian conditioning experiments, showing a transient enhanced contraction response to weak stimuli when paired with strong ones.

This study improves the Stentor coeruleus genome and uses time-resolved transcriptomics to identify a conserved signaling program involved in single-cell habituation.

This study shows that phage resistance in E. coli leads to diverse single-cell motility outcomes and signaling pathway changes, revealing trade-offs and trade-ups in motility and chemotaxis.
