This study shows that time-restricted eating in Drosophila leads to sustained fat loss and improved muscle function without calorie restriction.

This paper identifies Insomniac as a Cul3 adaptor protein that regulates sleep and synaptic homeostasis in Drosophila, linking Cul3 dysfunction to autism and schizophrenia.

This study identifies a heteromeric nicotinic acetylcholine receptor in Drosophila that promotes sleep by relaying GABAergic signals in the ventral nerve cord.

This study identifies the sleep gene insomniac as essential for retrograde homeostatic signaling by ubiquitinating targets at postsynaptic densities in Drosophila.

This study identifies two elementary sensory-motor transformations in Drosophila olfactory navigation: an upwind run during odor and a search behavior at odor offset.

This study shows that Drosophila Insomniac and its mammalian orthologs are functionally conserved in sleep regulation and synaptic function through an evolutionarily conserved ubiquitination pathway.
