Several neuronal subtypes found in the early zebrafish olfactory placode are not derived from the neural crest, as previously thought, but from the preplacodal ectoderm.

Sensory neurons in the olfactory system develop from two different regions of the ectoderm, the olfactory placode and the cranial neural crest, whereas sensory neurons within the eye and ear develop from just one region.

In zebrafish larvae, it is the cell type that determines how the cell responds to a chemokine signal.

The brain architecture of shrimp living in deep-sea vents provides clues to how these organisms have adapted to extreme living.

The life cycle and morphology of the sea squirt Ciona intestinalis shed light on vertebrate evolution.

Why does the human regulatory system, which evolution tuned for small satisfactions, now constantly demand 'more'?

After decades of intensive research, D. melanogaster and its relatives could provide important tools for investigating future biological questions about human health and environmental change, but only if we better understand their natural history.

Starvation modulates thermotaxis behaviors in C. elegans via functional reconfiguration of a sensory network by gut-brain signaling.
