Mosquitoes use carbon dioxide as a critical cue to sense if humans are nearby. This Primer explores a new study in PLOS Biology that reveals that carbon dioxide-sensing neurons in mosquitoes can ampli...

Compositionality exists on a continuum of increasing complexity rather than as a binary trait. Studying its implementation in simpler biological and artificial systems is the most tractable path towar...

The authors present a dense connectomic reconstruction of a 0.1 mm3 hippocampal CA3 volume and reveal spatial gradients, high convergence and cell-type-selective feedforward inhibition of inputs to py...

PhD student Minsu Kim gained confidence, experience in the lab of neurobiologist Wei-Chung Allen Lee

Open-source resource poised to propel research on how nervous systems work

Code version used to compute influence scores for the Brain and Nerve Cord (BANC) connectome reported in the updated Bates et al. pre-print. Compared to v0.3, this version contains some updates to the...

A team of researchers has unveiled the complete connectome of a male fruit fly central nervous system —a seamless map of all the neurons in the brain and nerve cord of a single male fruit fly and the ...
