The paper shows that Drosophila brains respond to visual stimuli during sleep, with response amplitudes depending on stimulus probability and location.

This paper identifies a hierarchical steering circuit in Drosophila that transforms navigational signals into coordinated motor actions during walking and flight.

The paper uses machine learning to classify sleep stages in fruit flies based on long-term electrophysiology data, identifying distinct temporal stages and their associated brain activity.

This study shows that enhancing sleep restores memory in flies with damaged Mushroom Bodies, revealing a role for circadian rhythms in memory impairment.

The paper compares optogenetic and pharmacological induction of sleep in Drosophila, finding they activate distinct transcriptional programs.

This study shows isoflurane selectively impairs Syntaxin1A activity at cholinergic synapses in Drosophila excitatory neurons, but not in inhibitory neurons.

The paper shows that dFB neurons in Drosophila adjust their response properties based on environmental demands and prior metabolic challenges to regulate sleep drive.

This study tracks single molecule dynamics in intact Drosophila brains to investigate how anesthetics affect presynaptic protein mobility.

The paper evaluates the utility of an informational structure as a measure of consciousness in fruit flies, finding it more informative than scalar summaries.

This study shows that sleep supports spatial learning in Drosophila, with sleep loss and aging impairing learning, which can be reversed by enhancing sleep.

The paper shows that reducing a satiety signal in Drosophila mimics starvation, leading to less sleep and improved visual attention and feeding behavior.

This study shows isoflurane reduces feedback in the fruit fly brain by altering frequency-specific connectivity patterns.

The paper investigates how isoflurane anesthesia affects visual processing in the fly brain, focusing on local versus global neural effects.
