Advancing from gene discovery in autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) to the identification of
biologically relevant mechanisms remains a central challenge. Here, we perform parallel in …

Animals must respond to the ingestion of food by generating adaptive behaviors, but the
role of gut-brain signaling in behavioral regulation is poorly understood. Here, we identify …

Serotonin influences many aspects of animal behavior. But how serotonin acts on its diverse
receptors across the brain to modulate global activity and behavior is unknown. Here, we …

To adapt to their environments, animals must generate behaviors that are closely aligned to
a rapidly changing sensory world. However, behavioral states such as foraging or courtship …

A central challenge in the genetics of autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) is advancing from
gene discovery to the identification of actionable biological mechanisms. To investigate the …

… D.; Talya Kramer for her perceptive takes on science and life in general; and Ijeoma
Nwabudike for her engaging company and wide-ranging discussions that often extended late into …

The physicochemical properties, total metal, metal fractions, and related human health
problems of metals in oilbearing soils of Akwa Ibom State were appraised using standard …

INTRODUCTION Human genetic studies have revealed long lists of genes and loci associated
with risk for many diseases and disorders, but to systematically evaluate their phenotypic …

Persistent internal states are important for maintaining survival-promoting behaviors, such
as aggression. In female Drosophila melanogaster, we have previously shown that …

Sleep disturbances in autism and neurodevelopmental disorders are common and adversely
affect patient’s quality of life, yet the underlying mechanisms are understudied. We found …
