Connectivity of serotonin neurons reveals a constrained inhibitory subnetwork within the olfactory system.

Farzaan Salman, Julius Jonaitis, Jacob D. Ralston, Oliver Mason Cook, Marryn M Bennett, Tyler R. Sizemore, Connor J. Guarniere, Keshav L. Ramachandra, Kaylynn E. Coates, Jessica L. Fox, Andrew M. Dacks

The paper identifies a constrained inhibitory subnetwork in Drosophila olfactory system and shows serotonin differentially affects its components to adjust network computations.

Individual olfactory channels shape distinct parameters of sleep architecture

Oliver Mason Cook, Benjamin T. Pursley, Garrett Pauls, Stephen Roeder, Isaiah A. Aites, Kaylynn E. Coates, Andrew M. Dacks

This study identifies how different olfactory receptor neuron types influence sleep architecture and shows that these effects vary with mating status and serotonin receptor expression.

Serotonin acts through multiple cellular targets during an olfactory critical period.

Ahana Mallick, Hua Tan, Jacob Epstein, Clarissa Mei Jing Ng, Oliver Mason Cook, Quentin Gaudry, Andrew M. Dacks

This study shows serotonin modulates multiple neuronal targets to enable experience-dependent structural changes in an odor processing circuit during a critical period in Drosophila.
