Food texture preference reveals multisensory contributions of gustatory organs in behaviour and physiology

The paper investigates how gustatory organs contribute to food texture preference in Drosophila larvae, showing their role in texture evaluation and ingestion decisions.

A temporally restricted function of the Dopamine receptor Dop1R2 during memory formation

This study shows that Dop1R2 is required for later memory forms but not short-term memories in Drosophila, with specific spatial requirements in the Mushroom body lobes.

Memory phase-specific genes in the Mushroom Bodies identified using CrebB-target DamID

The paper identifies memory phase-specific genes in Drosophila mushroom bodies using a CREB-DamID approach and validates them through RNAi screens.

Homothorax Controls a Binary Rhodopsin Switch in Drosophila Ocelli

The paper identifies Homothorax as a regulator controlling a binary rhodopsin switch in Drosophila ocelli, promoting Rh2 and repressing Rh1 expression.

Oriented basement membrane fibrils provide a memory for F-actin planar polarization via the Dystrophin-Dystroglycan complex during tissue elongation

The paper investigates how the Dystrophin-Dystroglycan complex and basement membrane fibrils coordinate F-actin polarization and tissue elongation in Drosophila ovarian follicles.

Multilevel regulation of the glass locus during Drosophila eye development

The paper identifies complex regulatory mechanisms controlling glass locus expression in Drosophila eye development, including cis-acting elements and an alternative small open reading frame.
