The Drosophila gene smoke alarm regulates nociceptor-epidermis interactions and thermal nociception behavior

Stephanie E. Mauthner, Katherine H. Fisher, William Daniel Tracey

This study identifies the Drosophila gene smal as essential for nociceptor dendrite morphogenesis and thermal nociception, with loss-of-function leading to thermal hyperalgesia.

The Drosophila small conductance potassium channel (SK) negatively regulates nociception.

Kia Walcott, Stephanie E. Mauthner, Asako Tsubouchi, Jessica Robertson, William Daniel Tracey

This study identifies the Drosophila SK channel as a negative regulator of nociception by showing its role in modulating nociceptor excitability and localization to axons.

A shotgun approach to identify mechanical nociception genes.

Melissa G. Christianson, Stephanie E. Mauthner, William Daniel Tracey

The paper introduces a new high-throughput behavioral assay for mechanical nociception in Drosophila and identifies 21 genes involved in mechanical sensitivity.
