This study shows that Pumilio in intestinal stem cells and the corpus allatum modulates sleep latency in Drosophila by affecting brain gene expression.

This study shows that early-life gut microbiota disruption affects circadian rhythm development in honey bees by altering clock neuron maturation and hormone expression.

This paper introduces a new method to measure nectar volume in artificial flowers using electrodes and an oscillator circuit, demonstrating its accuracy in detecting nectar variations.

This study investigates how alcohol affects sleep in Drosophila by showing that manipulating specific neurons and the neuropeptide PDF alters sleep patterns and tolerance.

This study shows that estradiol, not DHT, is required for cocaine sensitization in male rats, highlighting its role in cocaine-induced neuroplasticity.

This study examines how lithium affects honey bee locomotor activity and circadian rhythms, finding that it alters activity levels and disrupts circadian patterns, similar to its effects in bipolar disorder treatment.

This study shows that Pumilio is essential for sleep rebound, particularly after chronic sleep deprivation in Drosophila, by modulating neuronal excitability.
