Neuronal microscale biophysical instability mediates macroscale network dynamics shaping pathological manifestations

The paper identifies increased biophysical instability in spike initiation as a conserved feature across Drosophila and human neuronal models of neurological diseases.

Metaplastic sleep regulation in Drosophila determined by microscale circadian neural dynamics

This study identifies Rabphilin as a key regulator of circadian sleep regulation in Drosophila through microscale neural dynamics and metaplasticity.

Metaplastic neuronal state transition regulates species-specific interoceptive processing in Drosophila

The paper investigates how species-specific interoceptive processing arises from neural state transitions in Drosophila, showing differences in neuronal persistence and synaptic plasticity between two species.

Neuropeptide-dependent spike time precision and plasticity in circadian output neurons

This study investigates how neuropeptides Dh31 and Dh44 modulate spike time precision and plasticity in Drosophila circadian output neurons, revealing their role in circadian clock neural coding for sleep.

Glia control experience-dependent plasticity in an olfactory critical period

The paper shows that glia prune synapses during a critical period in Drosophila olfactory circuits, with long-term effects on circuit function.

Astroglial Calcium Signaling Encodes Sleep Need in Drosophila

The paper shows that astroglial calcium signaling in Drosophila increases with sleep need and is required for homeostatic sleep rebound, identifying TyrRII as a key receptor involved in this process.
