sensory information

Physiological and behavioral evidence of stress. Left: Schematics of two-photon imaging during baseline and repetitive stress conditions. In repetitive stress sessions, the mice were placed in a 50 ml tube for 30 min to achieve mild stress. The imaging session started directly after the restraint. Individual cells were tracked over imaging days. Shown are examples of 2 imaging planes on day 1 and day 9 (scale bar, 50 μm) and the noise-evoked responses of 3 exemplar cells (mean ± SE).

“I can’t hear you, I’m too stressed”

Peering into the behavioral circuits of the worm C. elegans allowed scientists to visualize how single cells connect to each other, and how changing these connections alter perception of sensory information and behavior. Illustration by Sarah Emerson
