The sense of taste allows animals to sample chemicals in the environment prior to ingestion.
Of the five basic tastes, sour, the taste of acids, had remained among the most mysterious. …

Mechanosensory neurons across physiological systems sense force using diverse terminal
morphologies. Arterial baroreceptors are sensory neurons that monitor blood pressure for …

The convergence of internal path integration and external sensory landmarks generates a
cognitive spatial map in the hippocampus. We studied how localized odor cues are …

The activity of sensory circuits is shaped by neuromodulators, which can have downstream
consequences for both sensorimotor integration and behavioral output. Recent evidence …

Airway integrity must be continuously maintained throughout life. Sensory neurons guard
against airway obstruction and, on a moment-by-moment basis, enact vital reflexes to maintain …

Enteroendocrine cells are specialized sensory cells of the gut-brain axis that are sparsely
distributed along the intestinal epithelium. The functions of enteroendocrine cells have …

It is now clear that oestrogens are not only circulating reproductive hormones, but that they
also have neurotransmitter‐like properties in a wide range of brain circuits. The view of …

The analysis of mouse behavior is used in biomedical research to study brain function in
health and disease. Well-established rapid assays allow for high-throughput analyses of …

In humans and other animals, behavioural variation in learning has been associated with
variation in neural features like morphology and myelination. By contrast, it is essentially …

The convergence of internal path integration with sensory information from external landmarks
generates a cognitive spatial map in the hippocampus. We have recorded the activity of …
