The paper investigates how two distinct motor inputs contribute to presynaptic homeostatic plasticity (PHP) in Drosophila, showing input-specific mechanisms for stabilizing neuromuscular junction activity.

This paper identifies Insomniac as a Cul3 adaptor protein that regulates sleep and synaptic homeostasis in Drosophila, linking Cul3 dysfunction to autism and schizophrenia.

The paper identifies physiological and nanoscale differences in glutamatergic synapses between tonic and phasic neurons at the Drosophila neuromuscular junction.

The paper identifies distinct target-specific mechanisms that stabilize synaptic strength at pre- and post-synaptic compartments in Drosophila neuromuscular junctions.

This study identifies the sleep gene insomniac as essential for retrograde homeostatic signaling by ubiquitinating targets at postsynaptic densities in Drosophila.

This study identifies Esyt as a presynaptic ER Ca2+ sensor that enhances neurotransmission and synaptic growth in Drosophila.
