This study shows that sleep deprivation does not cause oxidative damage or lethality in Drosophila, but increases vulnerability to trauma through enhanced synaptic strength.

This paper identifies the ninna nanna gene in Drosophila, showing it encodes two isoforms that integrate circadian and homeostatic sleep regulation through interconnected neurons.

The paper introduces coccinella, a reductionist framework for high-throughput behavioural analysis in Drosophila melanogaster using real-time tracking and resource-lean statistical learning.

The paper introduces ethoscopy, a Python framework for analyzing behavioral data from ethoscopes, enhancing accessibility and reproducibility in behavioral neuroscience.

This study investigates sleep function in Drosophila melanogaster, finding that sleep restriction is not lethal and that circadian drive, not homeostasis, primarily drives sleep pressure.

Rethomics provides an R framework for analyzing high-throughput behavioral data, offering tools for storage, manipulation, and visualization to bridge behavioral biology and data science.
