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 mirror-symmetric structure of the Caenorhabditis elegans gonad is established through the Wnt-independent function of a Frizzled protein and three Wnt proteins with distinct roles.

PTEN mutations disrupt inhibitory GABAergic signaling, causing neurodevelopmental defects that can be mitigated by β-hydroxybutyrate, which activates DAF-16/FOXO and may offer a therapeutic approach for excitation/inhibition imbalances.

Expression pattern analysis of neurotransmitter synthesis, secretion, and reuptake machinery reveals animal-wide usage of neurotransmitters in both sexes of Caenorhabditis elegans.

Large extracellular vesicle extrusion that eliminates neuronal protein aggregates and organelles is potentiated by uterine filling, linking reproductive status to maternal nervous system health, and demonstrating mechanobiology components in exophergenesis.

Identification of central neural circuits and sensory pathways underlying social-sexual modulation of sperm ejection in female Drosophila unraveled cryptic mate choice, a mechanism of post-copulatory sexual selection.
