Circuit tracing and in vivo calcium imaging reveals neurons conveying polarized light information from photoreceptors to the central brain, transforming patterns in the sky into a directional cue for navigation.
Social dominance has opposing effects on behavior following stress in male vs. female mice indicating an important role in sex differences in the stress response.
Integrated imaging analysis of a large multi-center dataset showed that treatment of refractory aggressive behavior with hypothalamic deep brain stimulation is highly effective with specific clinical and neuroimaging features associated with treatment success.
A newly described isolate of the behavior-manipulating fly pathogen Entomophthora muscae that naturally infects fruit flies can be cultured in the lab, enabling molecular investigation of how microbes induce behavior changes in animal hosts.
