A rapid and dynamic role for FMRP in the plasticity of adult neurons

Daniel G. Gundermann, Seana Lymer, Jennifer Lennon, Justin Blau

This study shows that FMRP acutely regulates neuronal plasticity in adult Drosophila neurons by modulating sif mRNA translation and Rac1 activity.

Circadian clock neurons use activity-regulated gene expression for structural plasticity

Seana Lymer, Keyur Patel, Jennifer Lennon, Justin Blau

The paper shows that activity-regulated genes like Hr38 and Sr control structural plasticity in Drosophila s-LNv circadian neurons by regulating sif transcription.

A gene expression program activated by neuronal inactivity

Zhonghua Zhu, Jennifer Lennon, Timothy M. Barry, Tamara Sanchez Ortiz, Seana Lymer, Shaul Mezan, Sebastián Kadener, Justin Blau

The paper identifies a gene expression program in Drosophila neurons that is activated by neuronal inactivity rather than activity, involving Pura and Toy transcription factors.

Postmating reproductive barriers contribute to the incipient sexual isolation of US and Caribbean Drosophila melanogaster

Joyce Y. Kao, Seana Lymer, Sea H. Hwang, Albert Sung, Sergey V. Nuzhdin

This study examines postmating reproductive barriers in Drosophila melanogaster populations from the US and Caribbean, finding reduced egg hatchability and increased resistance to harm after mating with less related males.
