    • Controlling Interneuron Activity in Caenorhabditis Elegans to Evoke Chemotactic Behaviour 

      Kocabas, Askin; Shen, Ching-Han; Guo, Zengcai V.; Ramanathan, Sharad (Nature Publishing Group, 2012)
      Animals locate and track chemoattractive gradients in the environment to find food. With its small nervous system, Caenorhabditis elegans is a good model system in which to understand how the dynamics of neural activity ...

      Nowak et al. argue that inclusive fitness theory has been of little value in explaining the natural world, and that it has led to negligible progress in explaining the evolution of eusociality. However, we believe that ...

    • Neuron-Type-Specific Signals for Reward and Punishment in the Ventral Tegmental Area 

      Cohen, Jeremiah Yaacov; Haesler, Sebastian; Vong, Linh; Lowell, Bradford Barr; Uchida, Naoshige (Nature Publishing Group, 2012)
      Dopamine has a central role in motivation and reward. Dopaminergic neurons in the ventral tegmental area (VTA) signal the discrepancy between expected and actual rewards (that is, reward prediction error)1–3, but how they ...
