Cellular mechanisms of long-term osmoregulation in magnocellular neurons. [PDF]
J NeuroendocrinolAbstract Osmoregulation is an essential homeostatic process that maintains the osmolality of the extracellular fluid (ECF) close to a physiological setpoint. Vasopressin (VP) plays a key role in osmoregulation and is secreted by the magnocellular neurosecretory cells (MNCs) of the hypothalamus.

Development of the neurohypophysis: A major neuroendocrine interface. [PDF]
J NeuroendocrinolAbstract The neurohypophysis is a major central neuroendocrine interface regulating reproductive functions and water homeostasis. Distinct neurovascular cell types interact via evolutionarily conserved signaling molecules in the developing neurohypophysis, providing a model system for studying principles in neuroendocrine interface morphogenesis.

Local neuropeptide signaling modulates serotonergic transmission to shape the temporal organization of C. elegans egg-laying behavior. [PDF]
PLoS Genetics, 2017 Animal behaviors are often composed of distinct alternating behavioral states. Neuromodulatory signals are thought to be critical for establishing stable behavioral states and for orchestrating transitions between them.

Neural mechanisms of parasite-induced summiting behavior in ‘zombie’ Drosophila
eLife, 2023 For at least two centuries, scientists have been enthralled by the “zombie” behaviors induced by mind-controlling parasites. Despite this interest, the mechanistic bases of these uncanny processes have remained mostly a mystery.

Ring neurons in the Drosophila central complex act as a rheostat for sensory modulation of aging.
PLoS Biology, 2023 Sensory perception modulates aging, yet we know little about how. An understanding of the neuronal mechanisms through which animals orchestrate biological responses to relevant sensory inputs would provide insight into the control systems that may be ...

An FXPRLamide neuropeptide induces seasonal reproductive polyphenism underlying a life-history tradeoff in the tussock moth. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 The white spotted tussock moth, Orgyia thyellina, is a typical insect that exhibits seasonal polyphenisms in morphological, physiological, and behavioral traits, including a life-history tradeoff known as oogenesis-flight syndrome.
