Postgraduate study can be mentally, physically and emotionally challenging. The levels of anxiety and depression in postgraduate students are much higher than those in the general population, and isolation can also be a problem, especially for students who are marginalised due to gender, race, sexuality, disability or being a first-generation and/or international student. These challenges are not new, but awareness of them has increased over the past decade, as have efforts by institutions to make students feel supported.

- Complex biological functions in organisms rely on communication between tissues, as shown in the model organism Caenorhabditis elegans, where separate neuromuscular circuits manage feeding and locomotion.
- Hyperactivation of cholinergic transmission at the body wall muscle was found to decrease the rate of pharyngeal pumping, indicating a link between locomotion and feeding behaviors.
- The study suggests that a specific receptor related to lev-1, distinct from the known unc-38 receptor, plays a role in this inhibition, highlighting an intricate interaction between locomotion control and feeding regulation.
