Sex-specific control of locomotor behavior by neuronal Arhgef10 in aged Drosophila

Mafalda Gualdino, Fabiana Herédia, Alexandra M. Medeiros…·Alisson M. Gontijo

This study investigates the age- and sex-specific role of dArhgef10 in locomotor behavior in Drosophila, finding it critical in neuronal function, particularly in aged females.

Neurogenetic evidence that Dilp8 promotes developmental-stability via Lgr3-neuron oscillation

Rebeca Zanini, Joana Pereirinha, Magdalena Fernandez-Acosta…·Alisson M. Gontijo

The paper shows Dilp8 promotes developmental stability in Drosophila by inducing oscillatory activity in PIL/GCL neurons through Lgr3 signaling and Cyclin A.
