Context makes the difference: Temporally Resolved Dopaminergic Teaching Signals Shape Associative Memory in Drosophila Larvae

The paper shows how specific dopaminergic neurons in Drosophila larvae modulate memory formation through temporally precise signaling during learning.

Rewarding capacity of optogenetically activating a giant GABAergic central-brain interneuron in larval Drosophila

The paper investigates the role of the APL neuron in larval Drosophila, finding that optogenetic activation can induce a rewarding effect through dopaminergic pathways.

Two Parallel Pathways Mediate Olfactory-Driven Backward Locomotion

The paper identifies an olfactory pathway that triggers backward locomotion in Drosophila, revealing a parallel circuit to Moonwalker Descending Neurons.
