A hyperpolarization-activated cation channel, counteracting membrane depolarization, delimits the excitability of receptor neurons subjected to naturally prolonged stimulation to preserve the function of neighboring receptor neurons in Drosophila gustation.

Neuron-specific sequencing of aged wild-type, daf-2, and daf-16;daf-2 mutants revealed transcriptomic changes with age, and in longevity mutants, putative neuroprotective genes are upregulated, which are required for prolonged cognitive functions.

Parallel chemical and physiological profiling of conspecific chemosensory communication in mice identifies both common and unique strategies for vomeronasal signaling of sex and strain.

A functional genetics approach reveals a novel role for odorant binding proteins in post-mating processes, with complex mechanisms of evolutionary change across closely related insect species.

Plant drugs used by ancient Graeco-Roman societies have tastes and flavours that predict how they were used therapeutically.

A synthetic, prospective article considers how the fields of sensory ecology and collective behaviour can combine when considering animal collective movements and interactions, and how these fields can inspire each other to advance understanding of animal behaviour, adaptation and evolution.
