The paper shows that optogenetic activation of sensory and dopaminergic neurons can induce synthetic associative memories in vinegar flies, demonstrating that simple coincident stimulation is sufficient for memory formation.

The paper uses patient brain organoids to show that 16p11.2 CNVs affect RBFOX1 expression and link it to neurodevelopmental disorders.

DRUG-seq provides high-throughput, unbiased transcriptomic data for drug discovery, demonstrating reproducibility and mechanism-of-action resolution for diverse compounds.

The paper advocates for using estimation plots over p-values for data analysis and presents the DABEST tool for creating these plots.

This study shows that optogenetic-induced olfactory behaviors in Drosophila depend on light intensity and oscillation frequency, highlighting the need for varied illumination regimes in experiments.

This study investigates the impact of the Drosophila microbiome on sleep, activity, and courtship behaviors, finding limited influence.
