Mechanosensory isolation of C. elegans nematodes independently induces homeostatic structural changes in the dendritic tree and differential response to mechanical stimulation, both these structural and behavioral outcomes are mediated by degenerins and do not affect presynaptic calcium dynamics.

The visually deprived brain processes sensory letter information in tactile areas but perceptual letter information in sighted reading areas, revealing experience-dependent brain plasticity.

Salient or behaviorally relevant stimuli, regardless of their modality, robustly activate both higher-order somatosensory and visual thalamic nuclei.

An analysis of vestibular projection neurons lacking their motor neuron partners resolves outstanding controversies for whether and how motor neurons shape vestibulo-ocular reflex circuit assembly.
