This study re-examines the role of octopamine in learning and memory in Drosophila larvae, showing it modulates dopaminergic neurons to orchestrate memory processes.

This study identifies Rab3 as a mediator of cAMP-induced presynaptic plasticity and shows its necessity for olfactory learning in Drosophila.

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

This study identifies DH31-positive clock neurons in the DN1p cluster that regulate memory performance through both direct and indirect signaling mechanisms.

The paper shows that light affects eclosion and locomotor activity in Drosophila through distinct sensory pathways.

This study investigates how AKH signaling balances daily activity patterns in Drosophila under non-starving conditions through interactions with octopaminergic neurons and the fat body.

This paper introduces a thermal-visual place learning paradigm for honeybees to study navigation and learning under controlled conditions.

This study identifies dCPD as a critical enzyme for neuropeptide processing in Drosophila, showing its role in behavior and survival.

The paper demonstrates a recurrent signaling loop between dopaminergic neurons and Kenyon cells in Drosophila larvae that mediates reward information and enhances memory persistence.

This study maps the peripheral octopaminergic/tyraminergic system in Drosophila melanogaster, showing its connections to muscles, reproductive organs, heart, and sensory neurons.
