Selection and the direction of phenotypic evolution
eLife, 2023 Predicting adaptive phenotypic evolution depends on invariable selection gradients and on the stability of the genetic covariances between the component traits of the multivariate phenotype.

Linking neural circuits to the mechanics of animal behavior in Drosophila larval locomotion
Frontiers in Neural Circuits, 2023 The motions that make up animal behavior arise from the interplay between neural circuits and the mechanical parts of the body. Therefore, in order to comprehend the operational mechanisms governing behavior, it is essential to examine not only the ...

Mechanisms of Variability Underlying Odor-Guided Locomotion
Frontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience, 2022 Changes in locomotion mediated by odors (odor-guided locomotion) are an important mechanism by which animals discover resources important to their survival. Odor-guided locomotion, like most other behaviors, is highly variable.

Exploring Neurobehaviour in Zebrafish Embryos as a Screening Model for Addictiveness of Substances
Toxics, 2021 Tobacco use is the leading cause of preventable death worldwide and is highly addictive. Nicotine is the main addictive compound in tobacco, but less is known about other components and additives that may contribute to tobacco addiction.

Phenotypic stasis with genetic divergence
Peer Community Journal, 2023 Whether or not genetic divergence in the short-term of tens to hundreds of generations is compatible with phenotypic stasis remains a relatively unexplored problem.

Motor state changes escape behavior of crickets
iScience, 2023 Summary: Animals change their behavior depending on external circumstances, internal factors, and their interactions. Locomotion state is a crucial internal factor that profoundly affects sensory perception and behavior.

Inhibitory hippocampus-medial septum projection controls locomotion and exploratory behavior
Frontiers in Synaptic Neuroscience, 2023 Although the hippocampus is generally considered a cognitive center for spatial representation, learning, and memory, increasing evidence supports its roles in regulating locomotion.

Adaptive Locomotion Control of a Hexapod Robot via Bio-Inspired Learning
Frontiers in Neurorobotics, 2021 In this paper, an adaptive locomotion control approach for a hexapod robot is proposed. Inspired from biological neuro control systems, a 3D two-layer artificial center pattern generator (CPG) network is adopted to generate the locomotion of the robot ...
