The paper shows that local axonal translation of CaMKII mRNA, mediated by Mub and a 3UTR element, is essential for asymmetric CaMKII distribution and associative memory in Drosophila neurons.

This paper develops an ex vivo Drosophila brain model that recapitulates pairing-dependent plasticity in the mushroom body, showing it is input-specific and requires CaMKII and sleep.

This study shows that Pigment-dispersing factor (PDF) signaling is essential for olfactory associative memory in Drosophila, with distinct effects on appetitive and aversive memory based on circadian timing.

This study shows that Ca2+/CaM inhibition of Drosophila EAG channels regulates presynaptic excitability and memory formation.
