Genetic variation in a biogenic amines receptor underlies a means of gain control for nonassociative learning and hence an important form of attention that is the basis for tradeoffs in foraging in a social collective.

Advanced glycation end-products (compounds which make the food appetizing and aromatic) intricately modulate organism’s homeostatic and hedonistic signaling pathways thereby inducing preferential consumption of excess nutrients offering preliminary insights into overconsumption of modern-day processed food.

Tyramine-dependent signaling triggers decondensation of neuronal RNP components and rapid translation activation of target mRNAs.

Astrocyte microdomain calcium transients are mediated by TrpML, stimulated by ROS and tyramine, and mediate astrocyte–tracheal interactions in CNS gas exchange.

Neuropeptide tachykinin signaling acts as master regulator of behavioral specialization in honeybees by differentially modulating worker responsiveness to task-specific stimuli.

Intense starvation with high internal energy levels results in remarkably stable food-related memories that persist beyond actual food intake and are associated with overeating.

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.

Without octopamine signaling via β octopamine receptors, which likely stimulates glycolysis, thermogenesis performed by the honeybee's indirect flight muscles is not possible.

A neuromodulatory circuit bidirectionally regulates the glial capacity to buffer ions and water in response to changes in neuronal excitation in order to balance glial versus neuronal protection.

The neural circuit that regulates egg-laying behavior in nematode worms is activated by egg production, coupled to the circuit that generates movement, and inhibited by sensory feedback from egg release.
