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

The innexin (Inx) proteins form gap junction channels and non-junctional channels (named
hemichannels) in invertebrates. These channels participate in cellular communication …

INTRODUCTION Global brain states such as sleep and wakefulness involve
reconfigurations of neural circuit activity across the entire nervous system. Yet it is not …

Animals must sense and acclimatize to environmental temperatures for survival, yet their
thermosensing mechanisms other than transient receptor potential (TRP) channels remain …

Kin-recognition is observed across diverse species forming an important behavioral
adaptation influencing organismal interactions. In many species, the molecular mechanisms …

Descending signals from the brain play critical roles in controlling and modulating
locomotion kinematics. In the Caenorhabditis elegans nervous system, descending AVB …

Animals integrate sensory information from the environment and display various behaviors
in response to external stimuli. In Caenorhabditis elegans hermaphrodites, 33 types of …

Coordinated transitions between mutually exclusive motor states are central to behavioral
decisions. During locomotion, the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans spontaneously cycles …

The potential toxicity of copper has received great attention for a long time, however, trans-
generational effects of copper have not been extensively investigated. Caenorhabditis …

The standard reference Caenorhabditis elegans strain, N2, has evolved marked behavioral
changes in social feeding behavior since its isolation from the wild. We show that the causal …
