This study shows that sleep deprivation in Drosophila impairs pattern separation by disrupting sparse coding in the mushroom body through SK channel-mediated changes in inhibitory neurons.

The paper shows that dopamine reduces threat perception in male Drosophila during courtship, prioritizing mating over survival as courtship progresses.

The paper shows that compensatory variability in Kenyon cell parameters improves memory performance in Drosophila mushroom bodies by equalizing activity levels.

The paper introduces PRED, a new vector similarity metric that combines pattern and magnitude comparisons, showing it is robust, invariant to scaling, and effective for class separability.

The paper shows that APL inhibits Kenyon cells locally in both dendrites and axons, enabling differential inhibition across mushroom body compartments.

This study shows that mAChR-A in gamma Kenyon cells inhibits odor responses and is required for aversive olfactory learning in adult Drosophila.
