Brief fictive carbon dioxide sensation induced by optogenetics in the female mosquito induces long-lasting arousal and probing, explaining the persistent predatory behavior of this dangerous disease-vectoring insect.
A sexually dimorphic circuit node controls a persistent, internal state that promotes fighting and mating in Drosophila, revealing parallels with mammalian systems suggestive of a conserved circuit "motif" controlling social behaviors.
A set of sexually dimorphic neurons in female flies is part of a recurrent neural network and drives minutes-long persistent neural activity and persistent social behaviors.

Distinct brain states govern resting state functional architecture revealed by neurophysiologically defined simultaneous optic-fiber-based calcium recordings and task-free functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) in rats.

A primary sensory interneuron in the thermotaxis circuit of C. elegans integrates sensory input and corollary discharge to drive persistent navigational states and movement towards preferred environments.

Time-varying heterogeneous social activity explains transient suppression of epidemic waves followed by long plateaus and eventual transition towards the endemic state of an emergent pathogen, such as COVID-19.

Experimental and modeling results reveal that the activation of resurgent sodium currents relies on the recovery of inactivated channels into a conducting state, and that the decay of resurgent currents reflects the accumulation of these channels into a slow-inactivated state.
