The occurrence of neuroactive chemicals in the aquatic environment is on the rise and
poses a potential threat to aquatic biota of currently unpredictable outcome. In particular …

Although the left and right hemispheres of our brains develop with a high degree of
symmetry at both the anatomical and functional levels, it has become clear that subtle …

Epitranscriptomic modifications can impact behavior. Here, we used Drosophila
melanogaster to study N6-methyladenosine (m6A), the most abundant modification of …

The olfactory system, composed of the olfactory organs and the olfactory bulb, allows
organisms to interact with their environment and through the detection of odor signals …

It is widely acknowledged that the left and right hemispheres of human brains display both
anatomical and functional asymmetries. For more than a century, brain and behavioral …

Habenula (Hb) plays critical roles in emotion-related behaviors through integrating inputs
mainly from the limbic system and basal ganglia. However, Hb also receives inputs from …

The habenulae are bilateral nuclei located in the dorsal diencephalon that are conserved
across vertebrates. Here we describe the main afferents to the habenulae in larval and adult …

Fear responses are defensive states that ensure survival of an organism in the presence of a
threat. Perception of an aversive cue causes changes in behavior and physiology, such as …

Hemispheric specializations are well studied at the functional level but less is known about
the underlying neural mechanisms. We identified a small cluster of cholinergic neurons in …

The pioneer works of Marc Dax and Paul Broca on the association between left hemisphere
injuries and speech impairments, revealed one of the most intriguing properties of the brain …
