To study odor-guided navigation of small animals such as worms and fly larvae, a novel flow chamber and odor sensor array are presented that better characterize the odors that the animal experiences.

Mesoscale cortical calcium activity correlating with single cortical and thalamic cell spiking reveal rich dynamics and support a novel approach for investigating in vivo functional networks in the mammalian brain.

Active and passive contributions to cell shape change and rearrangements can be distinguished from observed cell geometry, revealing the self-organization mechanisms underlying internally-driven epithelial convergent extension.

Olfactory receptor neurons adapt to odorant mean and variance and use complementary kinetics to preserve the timing of odorant encounters, despite adaptation slowing down transduction.

Fluctuations in the availability of particles for binding can completely jeopardize yield in heterogeneous self-assembly.

In a simple visual task, that in principle could be performed using information in V1 alone, perturbations of secondary visual areas impair perception.

Chronic pain distorts intensity coding in the anterior cingulate cortex to give rise to generalized anatomically nonspecific enhancement in pain aversion.

The distributions of cellular neighborhood volumes in two very different multicellular species - snowflake yeast and Volvox carteri - are found to obey a common functional form arising from maximum entropy consideration, despite great differences in their cell division processes.

Experience strengthens hunting in larval zebrafish by recruiting the forebrain to increase the prey-evoked activity in visual areas and trigger motor activity and prey capture.

Relative hydraulic resistance, shear rate, and pressure in a vascular network integrate the network's architecture via fluid flow, and determine vein dynamics, with a time delay, in the prototypical organism Physarum polycephalum.
