This study identifies Gq signaling in dopaminergic neurons as a memory suppressor in Drosophila using aversive conditioning and imaging techniques.

This paper shows that anesthesia triggers dopamine release from specific neurons, which actively causes forgetting, challenging the idea that memory loss is passive.

This paper introduces a microwave-assisted expansion microscopy protocol that significantly reduces processing time while maintaining resolution and expansion efficiency across different organisms.

The paper demonstrates olfactory sensory preconditioning in Drosophila, showing that non-paired odors can be associated through memory forgetting mechanisms, with Rac1 inhibition extending the sensory buffer.
