This paper identifies that octopamine signaling from specific Drosophila clock neurons regulates distinct phases of long-term memory.

This study investigates the role of Resilin in Drosophila flight and jumping, showing that its knockdown impairs wing movement and reduces jump distance, with Duox playing a critical role in its polymerization.

This study shows that confinement stress in Drosophila suppresses male courtship through dopamine-dependent neuroplasticity, with dopamine signaling essential for the lasting behavioral effects.

The paper deletes an enhancer in ebony to reveal redundant enhancer activities and a silencer that represses expression in specific regions of Drosophila melanogaster.

This study shows that Apterous (Ap) in Drosophila has distinct roles in memory consolidation and maintenance in different brain regions.

This study shows environmental light is essential for long-term memory maintenance in Drosophila by activating CREB in mushroom bodies via the Pdf signaling pathway.
