LSTM-based recurrent neural network provides effective short term flu forecasting Open
Background Influenza virus is responsible for a yearly epidemic in much of the world. To better predict short-term, seasonal variations in flu infection rates and possible mechanisms of yearly infection variation, we trained a Long Short-T…

Adaptive shift of active electroreception in weakly electric fish for troglobitic life Open
The adaptive-shift hypothesis for the evolution of cave-dwelling species posits that ancestor species in surface habitats had exaptations for subterranean life that were exploited when individuals invaded caves. Weakly electric Gymnotiform…

Organisms use mode-switching to solve the explore-vs-exploit problem Open
The inescapable link between sensing and movement generates a conflict between producing costly movements for gathering information (“explore”) versus using previously acquired information to achieve a goal (“exploit”). Determining the opt…

Neural mechanisms for turn-taking in duetting plain-tailed wrens Open
Recent studies conducted in the natural habitats of songbirds have provided new insights into the neural mechanisms of turn–taking. For example, female and male plain–tailed wrens ( Pheugopedius euophrys ) sing a duet that is so precisely …

Neurophysiological coordination of duet singing Open
Significance Cooperation, turn taking, and other social behaviors often depend on temporal coordination between individuals. How brains use sensory cues from participants to synchronize performances is not known. We examined the interactio…

Differences in behavior between surface and cave <span><i>Astyanax mexicanus</i></span> may be mediated by changes in catecholamine signaling Open
Astyanax mexicanus is a teleost fish that is in the process of allopatric speciation. Ancestral Astyanax are found in surface rivers and derived blind forms are found in cave systems. Adaptation to life in nutrient poor caves without preda…

Variability in locomotor dynamics reveals the critical role of feedback in task control Open
Animals vary considerably in size, shape, and physiological features across individuals, but yet achieve remarkably similar behavioral performances. We examined how animals compensate for morphophysiological variation by measuring the syst…
