Beyond synapses: cytoplasmic connections in brain function and evolution
Biological Reviews, Volume 100, Issue 5, Page 2055-2070, October 2025.ABSTRACT Following Ramón y Cajal's groundbreaking contributions to the identification of synapses, research in neuroscience predominantly focused on their pivotal role in neural communication (the neuron doctrine), overlooking an intriguing possibility suggested by Golgi of non‐synaptic interactions among neural cells.

Molecular Ecology, Volume 34, Issue 20, October 2025.ABSTRACT Many ant species show dramatic shifts in behaviour when infected with parasites, but the molecular basis of these behavioural changes is not well understood. An example is the wood ant, Formica aserva, which serves as an intermediate host for the lancet liver fluke, Dicrocoelium dendriticum.

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2018 Most pollinators visit flowers in the search of nectar rewards. However, as the floral nectar can often not be directly detected by pollinators, many flower visitors use secondary metabolites such as odor- or taste-proxies to anticipate nectar quantity ...

The Journal of Physiology, Volume 603, Issue 20, Page 6365-6389, October 15, 2025.Abstract figure legend Transient receptor potential ankyrin 1 (TRPA1) and melastatin 3 (TRPM3) activation regulate pre‐ and postsynaptic Ca2+ concentrations and synaptic activity in the dorsal horn of the spinal cord. Left: a model that describes how activation of TRPA1 and TRPM3 channels induces an influx of Ca2+ in the central terminals of sensory ...

Ligand Recognition and Function of TAARs
Sensory Neuroscience, Volume 1, Issue 2, September 2025.The trace amine‐associated receptor (TAAR) family represents a highly conserved group of G protein‐coupled receptors (GPCRs) in vertebrates. TAARs specifically bind to different amine ligands and mediate a variety of physiological and behavioral processes.

Aging Cell, Volume 24, Issue 7, July 2025.In ADR‐induced longevity in C. elegans, neuronal BLI‐4 processes neuropeptides, which are then released with the assistance of UNC‐31 and GOLG‐2. ABSTRACT Dietary restriction (DR) is a well‐established method for extending lifespan across various species, including C. elegans.

Genes to Cells, Volume 30, Issue 4, July 2025.The analyses of centerline‐based posture dynamics of C. elegans during chemotaxis indicated that directional turns are achieved in a two‐step process: (1) selection of the sequence type (at least in the case of single turns) and (2) adjustment of the turning angle within the selected turn type (for a backward turn to a forward turn).

Chemosensation: Hate Mosquitoes? Peel Beetroots! [PDF]
Current Biology, 2020 Finding the right lure for trapping pest insects is difficult. The typical smell of rain and humid soil, geosmin, now turns out to be a strong attractant for the yellow fever mosquito Aedes aegypti.

The Enteric Neuronal Circuitry: A Key Ignored Player in Nutrient Sensing Along the Gut–Brain Axis
The FASEB Journal, Volume 39, Issue 9, 15 May 2025.The enteric nervous system (ENS) regulates critical physiological functions including gut motility, blood flow, and epithelial secretions. Despite its autonomous ability to execute local functions, its communication with the central nervous system is integral to the maintenance of homeostasis.
