This study shows that Drosophila prickle mutants exhibit ASD-like behaviors and neurological anomalies, linking PRICKLE function to both epilepsy and autism spectrum disorder.

This study shows that bacterial brain infection in Drosophila activates Toll and IMD immune pathways in the brain, with glia as the primary responders, and that these responses persist even after bacterial clearance.

This study identifies Nckx30c as a Drosophila Na+/Ca2+ exchanger that regulates temperature-sensitive convulsions and age-related neurodegeneration through its role in Ca2+ homeostasis.
