Tan, Luping Yin, Yuqi Tan, Jessica Ivanov, Kaja Plucinska, Anoj Ilanges, Brian R Herb, Putianqi Wang, Christin Kosse, Paul Cohen, Dayu Lin and Jeffrey M Friedman | Summary: Leptin is an adipose tissue hormone that maintains homeostatic control of adipose tissue mass by regulating the activity […]
Kavli Affiliate: Zachary Knight and Jeffrey M. Friedman | Authors: Christin Kosse, Jessica Ivanov, Zachary Knight, Kyle Pellegrino and Jeffrey Friedman | Summary: TThe brain processes an array of stimuli enabling the selection of an appropriate behavioural response but the underlying circuitry linking inputs to outputs is unknown. Here we delineate a subcortical circuit in […]

Taylor, Kristin M. Branson, Adriane Otopalik, Vanessa Ruta and Gerald M. Rubin | Summary: Animals are often bombarded with visual information and must prioritize specific visual features based […]
Kavli Affiliate: Alipasha Vaziri | Authors: Jason Manley and Alipasha Vaziri | Summary: Animals engaged in naturalistic behavior can exhibit a large degree of behavioral variability even under sensory invariant conditions. Such behavioral variability can include not only variations of the same behavior, but also variability across qualitatively different behaviors driven by divergent cognitive states, […]

Vosshall and Laura B. Duvall | Summary: Female Aedes aegypti mosquitoes can spread disease-causing pathogens when they bite humans to obtain blood nutrients required […]
Kavli Affiliate: Li Zhao | Authors: Wei Li, Dahong Li, Li Zhao and Hongyan Li | Summary: The HD-ZIP transcription factor family plays crucial roles in plant growth and abiotic stress responses. While its diverse functions and regulatory mechanisms are well-documented, its role in conferring abiotic stress tolerance in peaches remains largely unexplored. Here, we […]
Kavli Affiliate: Li Zhao | Authors: Junhui Peng, Nicolas Svetec, Henrik Molina and Li Zhao | Summary: Post-mating responses play a vital role in successful reproduction across diverse species. In fruit flies, sex peptide (SP) binds to sex peptide receptor (SPR), triggering a series of post-mating responses. However, the origin of SPR predates the emergence […]
Kavli Affiliate: Alipasha Vaziri | Authors: Yaunlong Zhang, Lekang Yuan, Jiamin Wu, Tobias Noebauer, Rujin Zhang, Guihua Xiao, Mingrui Wang, Hao Xie, Qionghai Dai and Alipasha Vaziri | Summary: Understanding how neuronal dynamics gives rise to ethologically relevant behavior requires recording of neuronal population activity via technologies that are compatible with unconstrained animal behavior. However, […]
