This study shows that fascin is essential for axon development, brain wiring, and function in both cultured neurons and Drosophila melanogaster.

This study shows that mild head trauma in Drosophila leads to age-dependent neurodegeneration, with females being more affected due to reproductive signaling.

This study identifies RNA interactomes of Drosophila Nab2 and Ataxin-2, showing they share RNA targets and regulate neuronal morphology.

This study shows that repetitive mild head trauma in Drosophila causes long-term brain deficits, worsened in females, and links increased neuronal activity to chronic degeneration.
