The paper shows Dilp8 promotes developmental stability in Drosophila by inducing oscillatory activity in PIL/GCL neurons through Lgr3 signaling and Cyclin A.

The paper identifies a somatosensory network in Drosophila larvae that uses neuropeptide action to gate specific escape behaviors based on sensory input type.

The paper shows that Lgr3 is required for Dilp8 signaling in Drosophila to coordinate growth with developmental timing by transmitting peripheral tissue stress signals to neuroendocrine centers.
