A new tool enables measuring feeding and locomotion simultaneously which will enable insights into environmental, developmental, neuronal, and genetic factors underlying behavioral regulation.

In zombie fruit flies, Entomophthora muscae-elicited summiting behavior is mediated by blood-borne factors and the host circadian-neurosecretory network.

A new tracking method revealed the social-like interactions in the Mexican blind cavefish, which was thought to be evolutionarily lost, and also demonstrated its mammal-like antagonistic association between the social-like interaction and repetitive behavior.

A ClC chloride channel protein allows neurons to interpret both temporal resolution and intensity of sensory input, which thereby contributes to an experience-dependent navigation behavior.

A novel automated behavior analysis method for Hydra identifies pre-defined and new behavior types, and reveals a stable behavior repertoire.

Gut microbiota can influence mPFC transcriptional profiles and myelin content, overriding the impact of genetic background in the development of social avoidance behavior.

Behavioural and physiological stress response components are integrated on the major axis of genetic covariation, with implications for health and the understanding of the evolutionary response to stressors.

A combination of human imaging and brain stimulation techniques show that the somatosensory cortex is essential to prosocial decision making, by transforming observed pain in accurate perception of others' distress.

The generation and systematic characterisation of driver lines labelling a large number of neurons in the Drosophila innate olfactory processing centre bridges electron microscopy neuronal reconstructions, circuits and behaviour.

Light-seeking strategies in Zebrafish larvae are dissected using a virtual-reality assay, and these data are used to establish minimal stochastic and neural-circuits models that quantitatively capture this behavior.
