Natural non-coding pumilio variants retune value-coding interneurons to bias Drosophila oviposition choices

Dorsa Motevalli, Robert Alfredson, Sydney Fogleman, Emmanuel Medrano, Yang Chen, William I. Silander, Toshihide Hige, Ulrich Stern, Chung-Hui Yang

The paper shows how natural variants in the pumilio gene alter neural circuits in Drosophila to influence oviposition choices by affecting sodium channel expression.

Spatial learning in feature-impoverished environments in Drosophila

Yang Chen, Robert Alfredson, Dorsa Motevalli, Sydney Fogleman, Ulrich Stern, Chung-Hui Yang

This study shows Drosophila use self-generated olfactory and self-motion cues for spatial learning in feature-poor environments and adapt by prioritizing external landmarks when available.
