A comprehensive analysis of neuromodulatory inputs to insulin-producing cells in fruit flies shows how individual cell responses are integrated to allow animals to rapidly respond to changing metabolic demands.
Scientists have detailed a new method of identifying antimicrobial enzymes from large datasets of bacterial proteins, which could provide a solution to antibiotic resistance.
A study has detailed the entire nervous system circuitry of the three-day-old larva of a marine worm, which may help scientists learn more about how the nervous system evolved and drives behaviour.
A study in the nematode C. elegans has revealed changes in gene activity that underlie cognitive decline in older ages, and provides evidence for a set of genes that may preserve cognition later in life.
Researchers have shown that nocturnal bull ants can detect exceedingly low levels of polarised moonlight produced throughout the lunar month to navigate during the night.
A study establishes a causal relationship between early head trauma and neurodegeneration later in life, and shows how females are disproportionately affected in their response to injury.
