Arc capsid signaling between serotonergic and dopaminergic neurons sets sleep depth in Drosophila

This study shows that Arc-dependent capsid signaling between serotonergic and PAM neurons in Drosophila controls sleep depth by modulating arousal thresholds.

dArc1 controls sugar reward valuation in Drosophila melanogaster

This study shows that dArc genes in Drosophila melanogaster regulate sugar reward valuation through capsid-mediated intercellular communication, affecting associative learning and reward valuation.

Evolution of connectivity architecture in the Drosophila mushroom body

The paper compares connectivity patterns in the Drosophila mushroom body across species to show how evolutionary changes in neuronal connectivity relate to chemical ecology.
