Modulation of nociception allows animals to optimize chances of survival by adapting their
behaviour in different contexts. In mammals, this is executed by neurons from the brain and …

Animals display selective escape behaviors when faced with environmental threats.
Selection of the appropriate response by the underlying neuronal network is key to …

Quantifying animal behavior is important for biological research. Identifying behaviors is the
prerequisite of quantifying them. Current computational tools for behavioral quantification …

Nociception, the process of encoding and processing noxious or painful stimuli, allows
animals to detect and avoid or escape from potentially life-threatening stimuli. Here, we …

Nociception is a neural process that animals have developed to avoid potentially tissue-
damaging stimuli. While nociception is triggered in the peripheral nervous system, its …

Down syndrome (DS) is caused by triplication of human chromosome 21 (HSA21). Although
several HSA21 genes have been found to be responsible for aspects of DS, whether and …

Animals' response to a stimulus in one sensory modality is usually influenced by other
modalities. 1 One important type of multisensory integration is the cross-modal modulation …

Appropriate modulation of escape behaviors in response to potentially damaging stimuli is
essential for survival. Although nociceptive circuitry has been studied, it is poorly understood …

Many animals rely on optic flow for navigation, using differences in eye image velocity to
detect deviations from their intended direction of travel. However, asymmetries in image …

Ex vivo physiological experiments using small insect models such as Drosophila larvae
have become increasingly useful to address fundamental biological questions. To perform …
