A region of the brain called the paraventricular thalamus mediates the impact of stress on unlearned fear responses, but is not involved in learned fear behavior.

Kallistatin acts as a key regulator in mediating Aβ accumulation and tau hyperphosphorylation in AD.

Odors directly activate taste neurons in Drosophila, revealing a peripheral mechanism of odor-taste integration that enhances feeding behavior.

Increasing CD11c⁺ microglial subsets in the spinal dorsal horn by intrathecal treatment of interleukin-4 alleviate pain hypersensitivity caused by nerve injury.

Optogenetic manipulations and neural circuit interrogation reveal that dorsal raphe dopamine circuits can emulate different facets of a loneliness-like state, including prosociality, aversion, and vigilance.

Changes in internal state for stochastic behaviors can be more easily explained by a stochastic model with no state change.

An inexpensive, scalable trial-based behavioral assay revealed quantitative difference in fruit flies' escape behavior across different genetic models of neurodegeneration.
