This study shows that Bruchpilot remodeling couples synaptic structure to Kv1/Shaker channel control of excitability, restoring function in sleepless mutants.

This study shows that a constitutively active form of Unc13A reduces sleep rebound after deprivation, suggesting a role for SNARE complex dynamics in sleep homeostasis.

This study identifies an antagonistic interaction between Spinophilin and Syd-1 that regulates presynaptic long-term plasticity and olfactory memory in Drosophila.

This study shows that homeostatic presynaptic plasticity in Drosophila mushroom body neurons is essential for memory consolidation.
