The paper shows that different parts of the Drosophila larval locomotor network respond differently to heat stress during a critical period, leading to varied functional and structural changes.

The paper identifies mitochondrial ROS and HIF-1α signaling as critical for critical period plasticity in Drosophila.

The paper identifies NADPH oxidases as essential for activity-regulated structural plasticity at the neuromuscular junction in Drosophila.

This study shows reactive oxygen species (ROS) regulate activity-dependent structural plasticity in Drosophila neurons, with DJ-1β modulating synaptic plasticity via the PTEN-PI3K pathway.
