Researchers have discovered how networks of neurons in fruit flies transform simple brain signals into coordinated actions. This sheds light on the neural mechanisms underlying complex behaviors for ...

Animal survival depends on effective attack and defense strategies, yet how these behaviors arise remains unclear. Addressing ...

Understanding how animals, including humans, transform brain signals into coordinated movements is a fundamental question in neuroscience. In general, the brain sends movement instructions to the body ...

Understanding how genes influence complex behaviors remains one of biology's most fascinating challenges. Now, however, in a recent study, researchers have compiled a comprehensive dataset documenting ...

More images and video available- see link in the Notes section. A new study suggests that the fundamental abilities underlying human language and technological culture may have evolved before humans ...

In a breakthrough study, scientists have transferred a courtship behavior from one species to another, triggering the recipient to perform this completely foreign act as if it was its own. While genes ...

400 kilometers above Earth, researchers examined waves in complex plasma under microgravity conditions and found that the microparticles behaved in nonuniform ways in the presence of varying ...

An experimental and observational study of the predatory behavior of Argiope argentata, a large orb-web spider, is reported in detail. The predatory behavior consists of a sequence of distinct ...
