DOI: 10.1016/j.neuron.2018.12.022
Abstract: Thermosensation is critical for avoiding thermal extremes and regulating body temperature. While thermosensors activated by noxious temperatures respond to hot or cold, many innocuous thermosensors exhibit robust baseline activity and lack discrete temperature thresholds, suggesting… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.tins.2017.02.003
Abstract: It is well established that glutamate and GABA signal through both ionotropic and metabotropic receptors. Conversely, it is thought that, with one exception, monoamines (dopamine, serotonin, and norepinephrine) signal via metabotropic receptors. Given their capacity… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/chemse/bjab047
Abstract: While they are mostly renowned for their visual capacities, cephalopods are also good at olfaction for prey, predator and conspecific detection. The olfactory organs and olfactory cells are well described but olfactory receptors -genes and… read more here.

DOI: 10.1186/s12915-022-01235-0
Abstract: Background In insects, airborne chemical signals are mainly detected by two receptor families, odorant receptors (ORs) and ionotropic receptors (IRs). Functions of ORs have been intensively investigated in Diptera and Lepidoptera, while the functions and… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fnmol.2022.1023492
Abstract: Animals are continuously confronted with different rates of temperature variation. The mechanism underlying how temperature-sensing systems detect and respond to fast and slow temperature changes is not fully understood in fly larvae. Here, we applied… read more here.
