The paper introduces DABEST 2.0, an estimation framework for multi-group comparisons in experimental science, focusing on effect-size quantification instead of null-hypothesis significance testing.

The paper uses a contextualized ethomics approach to show that Trhn serotonergic neurons in Drosophila control satiety, while other circuits only produce fragmented behavioral changes.

The paper introduces a long-Stokes-shift mScarlet variant for two-photon imaging, enabling simultaneous imaging with green sensors using a single laser.

The paper identifies a mushroom-body output neuron (MBON11) that mediates octopamine-driven and hunger-motivated feeding in Drosophila through synaptic connections with specific neuromodulatory neurons.

This study evaluates kalium channelrhodopsins (KCRs) as optogenetic inhibitors in Drosophila, C. elegans, and zebrafish, showing they are effective and have improved properties compared to chloride-conducting ACRs.
