    • Dopamine Signaling Is Essential for Precise Rates of Locomotion by C. elegans 

      Omura, Daniel T.; Clark, Damon A.; Samuel, Aravinthan DT; Horvitz, H. Robert (Public Library of Science, 2012)
      Dopamine is an important neuromodulator in both vertebrates and invertebrates. We have found that reduced dopamine signaling can cause a distinct abnormality in the behavior of the nematode C. elegans, which has only eight ...

    • Shared Resistance to Aging and ALS in Neuromuscular Junctions of Specific Muscles 

      Valdez, Gregorio; Tapia, Juan C.; Lichtman, Jeff; Sanes, Joshua R. (Public Library of Science, 2012)
      Normal aging and neurodegenerative diseases both lead to structural and functional alterations in synapses. Comparison of synapses that are generally similar but respond differently to insults could provide the basis for ...

    • Temporal Brain Dynamics of Multiple Object Processing: The Flexibility of Individuation 

      Mazza, Veronica; He, Sheng; Caramazza, Alfonso (Public Library of Science, 2011)
      The ability to process concurrently multiple visual objects is fundamental for a coherent perception of the world. A core component of this ability is the simultaneous individuation of multiple objects. Many studies have ...
