DOI: 10.1016/j.jembe.2019.151288
Abstract: Abstract Cuttlefish lack parental care and juveniles face a high predatory risk immediately after hatching. Previous studies have shown that the sensory systems of cuttlefish are functional before hatching, and embryos can recognize predatory visual… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.neuropharm.2020.108239
Abstract: The glutamatergic lateral hypothalamus (LH) has been implicated in a variety of behaviors, such as evasion and feeding, while its role in defensive behaviors and relevant neurocircuits remains unclear. Here, we demonstrate that glutamatergic LH… read more here.
