The basic motor patterns underlying rhythmic limb movements during locomotion are
generated by neuronal networks located within the spinal cord. These networks are called …

Pathogenic bacteria and higher eukaryotes have spent a long time together, leading to a
precise understanding of one another's way of functioning. Through rapid evolution, bacteria …

We examine the role of synaptic activity in the development of identified Drosophila
embryonic motorneurons. Synaptic activity was blocked by both pan-neuronal expression of …

SNAREs (soluble NSF-attachment protein receptors) are generally acknowledged as central
components of membrane fusion reactions, but their precise function has remained …

A robust and well-organized rhythm is a key feature of many neuronal networks, including
those that regulate essential behaviors such as circadian rhythmogenesis, breathing, and …

Background: Discrimination between edible and contaminated foods is crucial for the
survival of animals. In Drosophila, a family of gustatory receptors (GRs) expressed in taste …

Plants produce insect repellents, such as citronellal, which is the main component of
citronellal oil. However, the molecular pathways through which insects sense botanical …

The organisational principles of locomotor networks are less well understood than those of
many sensory systems, where in-growing axon terminals form a central map of peripheral …

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) have been extensively studied as damaging agents
associated with ageing and neurodegenerative conditions. Their role in the nervous system …

Locomotor systems generate diverse motor patterns to produce the movements underlying
behavior, requiring that motor neurons be recruited at various phases of the locomotor cycle …
