The paper identifies a Drosophila octopamine neuron that mediates ethanol seeking under hunger conditions by forming a parallel circuit with memory circuitry.

This study investigates how natural variation in the Drosophila for gene affects ethanol-induced behaviors and metabolism, suggesting a role for PKG in modulating alcohol-related phenotypes.

The paper maps the postsynaptic connections of Drosophila mushroom body output neurons using trans-Tango, revealing convergent targets and a multilayer circuit for information integration.

This study investigates how ethanol deprivation affects behavior and gene expression in Drosophila, identifying molecular and neural changes associated with negative affect states.

The paper investigates how alcohol affects transcription and RNA processing in Drosophila mushroom body neurons, identifying lasting transcript changes associated with ethanol exposure.

The paper identifies how dopamine neuron circuits shift from reward delivery to cue onset in alcohol-associated preference using Drosophila melanogaster.
