Chemosensory neurons translate perception of external chemical cues, including odorants,
tastants, and pheromones, into information that drives attraction or avoidance motor …

Localizing the sources of stimuli is essential. Most organisms cannot eat, mate, or escape
without knowing where the relevant stimuli originate. For many, if not most, animals, olfaction …

Nervous system maps are of critical importance for understanding how nervous systems
develop and function. We systematically map here all cholinergic neuron types in the male …

Classical and modern ethological studies suggest that animal behavior is organized
hierarchically across timescales, such that longer-timescale behaviors are composed of …

Changes in an animal's behavior and internal state are accompanied by widespread
changes in activity across its brain. However, how neurons across the brain encode …

Animals generate diverse motor behaviors, yet how the same motor neurons (MNs)
generate two distinct or antagonistic behaviors remains an open question. Here, we …

The wiring architecture of neuronal networks is assumed to be a strong determinant of their
dynamical computations. An ongoing effort in neuroscience is therefore to generate …

Defining the organizational principles of neuronal networks at the cellular scale, or micro-
connectomics, is a key challenge of modern neuroscience. In this Review, we focus on …

Cell-or network-driven oscillators underlie motor rhythmicity. The identity of C. elegans
oscillators remains unknown. Through cell ablation, electrophysiology, and calcium imaging …

Locomotor activities can enhance learning, but the underlying circuit and synaptic
mechanisms are largely unknown. Here we show that locomotion facilitates aversive …
