Studying the development of the medial amygdala in the mouse reveals how the brain may potentially process sex differences in innate behaviors such as mating.

An open-source behavioral platform allows for operant, feeding, and circadian experiments in rodent home-cages.

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.

The courtship master gene fruitless tunes functional flexibility of courtship circuitry during development instead of switching on its function as conventionally viewed.

A naturalistic assay for head-fixed mice permits observation of a diverse set of innate and learned behaviors without requiring any training.

Brain imaging and behavioral analysis reveal two opposing states of hunger, represented by anti-correlated lateral and caudal hypothalamic dynamics that are important for the homeostatic control of feeding in zebrafish.

Worms' attraction to pheromones turns into repulsion when a food patch is depleted, helping them avoid already exploited territories and search for new food sources.

Feedback from the intestine during infection can modulate the behavior, learning, and microbial perception of the host.

Mushroom bodies are a hunger and satiety integrative center that controls food-seeking behavior in Drosophila..

Female fruit flies sense bacteria-derived peptidoglycan via the octopaminergic neurons to adapt their egg laying behavior to their infection status.
