More new science from the lab! Led by @nathancsharris.bsky.social (now at GA State) and PD Priya Dutta.

We describe how experience tunes the ratios of functional receptors in a single sensory neuron via coordinating transcriptional and post-transcriptional mechanisms to drive response plasticity.
Experience-dependent reconfiguration of receptors at a sensory compartment regulates neuronal plasticity https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2025.08.13.670147v1

Worm people: Were you a mentor, mentee, or in a peer-mentoring group in the C. elegans Mentor Match program last year? We need your feedback!

Please fill out this quick survey to help us evaluate the program and improve it for the coming year.

🧪 Lab's latest!! Work by PD (and now PI) Alison Philbrook.
C. elegans sensory neurons have gorgeous #cilia. We’ve always thought that a) no cilia = no sensory responses, & b) no IFT = no cilia. Punchline is we thought wrong. Read paper for more!

Cilia structure and intraflagellar transport differentially regulate sensory response dynamics within and between C. elegans chemosensory neurons
The relative contributions of intraflagellar transport (IFT) and cilia structure to sensory neuron responses remains unclear. This study reveals unexpected complexity in the contribution of IFT and ci...

All #Celegans peeps! Drawing your attention to this really amazing tour-de-force from Changchun Chen's lab (with a small contribution from us). An incredible resource of strains with combos of 1654 GPCRs KO'd. Deals with the issue of gene duplication and redundancy.

Another spectacular paper about cilia and their structural and positional diversity in the brain. Wonder why oligodendrocytes and microglia don't have 'em but astrocytes do.
