Maternal lipids prime quiescent neural stem cells to reactivate in response to dietary nutrients

Md Ausrafuggaman Nahid, Susan E. Doyle, Kelly E. Dunham…·Sarah E Siegrist

The paper shows maternal lipids and dietary amino acids both regulate Drosophila neural stem cell reactivation from quiescence.

Microdosing ketamine in Drosophila does not inhibit SERT like SSRIs, but causes behavioral changes mediated by glutamate and serotonin receptors

Kelly E. Dunham, Kani H. Khaled, Leah Weizman, B. Jill Venton

This paper tests the effects of microdosing ketamine and SSRIs on Drosophila larvae, finding that ketamine does not inhibit serotonin reuptake like SSRIs but affects behavior through glutamate and serotonin receptors.
