Light sheet fluorescence microscopy (LSFM) uses a thin sheet of light to excite only
fluorophores within the focal volume. Light sheet microscopes (LSMs) have a true optical …

Many of the major biological discoveries of the 20th century were made using just six
species: Escherichia coli bacteria, Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Schizosaccharomyces …

Neurotransmitters often have multiple receptors that induce distinct responses in receiving
cells. Expression and localization of neurotransmitter receptors in individual neurons are …

Aggressive social interactions are used to compete for limited resources and are regulated
by complex sensory cues and the organism's internal state. While both sexes exhibit …

The representation of contextual information peripheral to a salient stimulus is central to an
animal's ability to correctly interpret and flexibly respond to that stimulus. While the …

In multipolar vertebrate neurons, action potentials (APs) initiate close to the soma, at the
axonal initial segment. Invertebrate neurons are typically unipolar with dendrites integrating …

The development of fluorescent labels and powerful imaging technologies in the last two
decades has revolutionized the field of fluorescence microscopy, which is now widely used …

The ability of neuronal networks to reconfigure is a key property underlying behavioral
flexibility. Networks with recurrent topology are particularly prone to reconfiguration through …

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is characterized by the progressive degeneration of the
motor neurons that innervate muscle, resulting in gradual paralysis and culminating in the …

Proper regulation of ion balance across the intestinal epithelium is essential for
physiological functions, while ion imbalance causes intestinal disorders with dire health …
