A Priming Circuit Controls the Olfactory Response and Memory in Drosophila

He Yang, Yang Jiang, Sam Martin Kunes

This study identifies a priming circuit in Drosophila that modulates olfactory response and memory based on prior aversive or appetitive stimuli.

Social isolation modulates appetite and defensive behavior via a common oxytocinergic circuit in larval zebrafish

Caroline Lei Wee, Erin Yue Song, Maxim Nikitchenko, Kristian J. Herrera, Sandy Wong, Florian Engert, Sam Martin Kunes

The paper shows social isolation activates an oxytocinergic circuit in larval zebrafish that modulates both defensive and feeding behaviors through chemical cues.
