Ingestion of probiotic (Lactobacillus helveticus and Bifidobacterium longum) alters intestinal microbial structure and behavioral expression following social defeat stress

Scientific Reports, 2021
Social stress exacerbates anxious and depressive behaviors in humans. Similarly, anxiety- and depressive-like behaviors are triggered by social stress in a variety of non-human animals.

Great nature’s second course: Introduction to the special issue on the behavioral neuroscience of sleep [PDF]

, 2016
Sleep is necessary for normal psychological functioning, and psychological function in turn affects sleep integrity. Recent investigations delineate the relation of sleep to a broad array of processes ranging from learning and memory to emotional ...

The Reconfigurable Maze Provides Flexible, Scalable, Reproducible, and Repeatable Tests

iScience, 2020
Summary: Multiple mazes are routinely used to test the performance of animals because each has disadvantages inherent to its shape. However, the maze shape cannot be flexibly and rapidly reproduced in a repeatable and scalable way in a single environment.

Intracellular Ca2+ dynamics in the ALA neuron reflect sleep pressure and regulate sleep in Caenorhabditis elegans

iScience, 2022
Summary: The mechanisms underlying sleep homeostasis are poorly understood. The nematode Caenorhabditis elegans exhibits 2 types of sleep: lethargus, or developmentally timed, and stress-induced sleep.

Motor and sensory cortical processing of neural oscillatory activities revealed by human swallowing using intracranial electrodes

iScience, 2021
Summary: Swallowing is attributed to the orchestration of motor output and sensory input. We hypothesized that swallowing can illustrate differences between motor and sensory neural processing.

Effects of Monocular Perceptual Learning on Binocular Visual Processing in Adolescent and Adult Amblyopia

iScience, 2020
Summary: Re-establishing normal binocular visual processing is the key to amblyopia recovery beyond the critical period of visual development. Here, by combining perceptual learning, behavioral testing, and steady-state visually evoked potentials (SSVEPs)
