Divergent co-transmission by a predictive motor circuit modulates auditory processing.

Marryn M Bennett, Han SJ Cheong, Kaitlyn Nicole Boone, Farzaan Salman, Jacob D. Ralston, Jenna Luthman, Kevin C. Daly, Gwyneth M Card, Andrew M. Dacks

The paper identifies a predictive motor circuit in Drosophila that uses divergent cotransmission to modulate auditory processing during different behaviors.

Connectivity of serotonin neurons reveals a constrained inhibitory subnetwork within the olfactory system.

Farzaan Salman, Julius Jonaitis, Jacob D. Ralston, Oliver Mason Cook, Marryn M Bennett, Tyler R. Sizemore, Connor J. Guarniere, Keshav L. Ramachandra, Kaylynn E. Coates, Jessica L. Fox, Andrew M. Dacks

The paper identifies a constrained inhibitory subnetwork in Drosophila olfactory system and shows serotonin differentially affects its components to adjust network computations.

Stimulus-Specific Modulation is Enabled by Differential Serotonin Receptor Expression

Julius Jonaitis, Mohd Freezely Ezzani Bin Mazri, Tyler R. Sizemore, Jacob D. Ralston, Farzaan Salman, Emma J. Fletcher, Danielle E. Matheny, Keshav L. Ramachandra, Andrew M. Dacks

The paper shows that heterogeneous serotonin receptor expression in Drosophila olfactory projection neurons allows differential modulation of odor responses based on receptor profiles and odor tuning.
