The paper introduces a new assay, FLAME, to measure motivation in Drosophila by assessing willingness to overcome agarose barriers for nutrients, showing dopamine neuron activity is required for amino acid seeking.
Dimitri Tränkner, Alyssa P Johnson, Megan E. Williams, Adrian Rothenfluh
The paper identifies a Hoxb8-dependent transcriptional program in microglia linked to neuropsychiatric disorders through integrated chromatin and transcriptional analyses in mice.

The paper develops an iterative ATAC-seq approach to refine transgene expression in specific neuronal subtypes in Drosophila.

The paper analyzes genetic data to reveal an inverse correlation between initial ethanol resistance and tolerance in Drosophila, suggesting a method to identify true tolerance mutants.

The paper investigates how 1-carbon pathways and methylation potential in glutamatergic neurons influence alcohol sensitivity and tolerance in Drosophila.

This study shows Drosophila avoid cocaine via bitter taste sensing, requiring Gr66a, and identifies a peripheral mechanism for toxin detection.

This paper develops an optimized ATAC-seq protocol for adult Drosophila neurons, enabling high-quality chromatin accessibility studies in this model organism.

The paper shows that chloride levels in Drosophila pacemaker neurons regulate circadian rhythms via a WNK-Fray signaling cascade and potassium channel activity.

The paper introduces the FLEA assay to measure incentive motivation in Drosophila by using electric shock as an aversive stimulus, revealing a novel role for neuropeptide F in processing electroshock.

The paper shows that Rac1 and cofilin regulate alcohol preference acquisition in Drosophila mushroom bodies by modulating actin dynamics.

This study identifies two dopaminergic circuits in Drosophila that mediate opposing effects on alcohol consumption: one promoting preference and the other inducing avoidance.

This study identifies 46 novel genetic loci associated with alcohol consumption and suggests shared genetic mechanisms with neuropsychiatric disorders using GWAS and functional analyses.
