The paper shows that individual dopaminergic neurons in Drosophila larvae can induce unique yet overlapping behavioural effects including memory formation, locomotion modulation, and safety learning.

This study examines how starvation affects associative short-term memory in Drosophila across various learning tasks, finding task-dependent effects that challenge the adaptive specificity hypothesis.

This study shows that Drosophila melanogaster larvae use relative value learning for rewards and punishments, suggesting this ability is widespread across the animal kingdom.

The paper shows that Dh44 and Ilp7 neurons in Drosophila larvae mediate metabolic state-dependent behavioral decisions in conflicting sensory contexts by regulating light tolerance.

The paper investigates the role of the APL neuron in larval Drosophila, finding that optogenetic activation can induce a rewarding effect through dopaminergic pathways.

The paper shows that intron retention generates single transmembrane-helix isoforms of aGPCRs, enabling mechanosensory function through heteromerization with 7TM subunits.

The paper introduces IMBA, a tool for analyzing individual Drosophila larva behavior, revealing inter- and intra-individual locomotion variability and its genetic modulation.

The paper characterizes reward and frustration memory in larval Drosophila using optogenetics and behavioral assays, revealing timing-dependent memory valence based on reward occurrence or termination.

This study shows that 3-Iodo-L-tyrosine impairs associative learning in Drosophila larvae and adults, which can be rescued by L-DOPA.
