This study characterizes post-mating responses in Drosophila hydei, a species lacking Sex-Peptide, showing distinct behavioral and physiological changes compared to Drosophila melanogaster.

This paper shows that NATO3 protects dopaminergic neurons in mouse and human Parkinson's disease models by enhancing autophagy and clearing alpha-synuclein.

The paper introduces DrosoVAM, a cost-effective and versatile system for monitoring Drosophila behavior using video and deep learning, improving upon traditional infrared beam methods.

This study identifies a circadian mechanism in Drosophila where rhythmic Pka-C1 transcription in mushroom body neurons regulates sleep through DA signaling and PKA activity.

This study shows that reducing NonA in Drosophila worsens TDP-43-induced pathologies, suggesting a functional link between NONO and TDP-43 in proteinopathy.

The paper identifies vulnerable DA neuron subpopulations in Drosophila PD models using split-GAL4 and highlights an age-related caveat of the system.

This study shows that disrupting circadian clocks in Drosophila worsens dopaminergic neuron degeneration and increases mortality under oxidative stress.

This study identifies Fer2 as a conserved transcription factor that maintains mitochondrial integrity in midbrain dopaminergic neurons, protecting against neurodegeneration in Parkinson's disease.

The paper identifies rhythmic expression of Nf1 in Drosophila mushroom body neurons and shows its role in promoting daytime wakefulness through cAMP-PKA signaling.

This study identifies nitric oxide as a critical signaling molecule linking circadian pacemaker neurons to locomotor behavior in Drosophila, with glia as a major source of NO.
