An organism’s ability to perceive and respond to changes in its environment is crucial for its
health and survival. Here we reveal how the most well-studied longevity intervention, dietary …

Sensory perception modulates health and aging across taxa. Understanding the nature of
relevant cues and the mechanisms underlying their action may lead to novel interventions that …

The conserved neurotransmitter serotonin has been shown to be an important modulator of
lifespan in specific nutritional contexts; however, it remained unclear how serotonin signaling …

Across taxa, sensory perception modulates aging in response to important ecological cues,
including food, sex, and danger. The range of sensory cues involved, and their mechanism …

Sensory neurons provide organisms with data about the world in which they live, for the
purpose of successfully exploiting their environment. The consequences of sensory perception …

Modulation of neurotransmission is key for organismal responses to varying physiological
contexts such as during infection, injury, or other stresses, as well as in learning and memory …
