This study shows that nighttime sleep in Drosophila is necessary for mechanosensory habituation, likely by promoting synaptic downscaling.

This study identifies acetylcholinesterase inhibitors as potential treatments for paroxysmal dyskinesia by rescuing motor defects in a Drosophila model with BK channel gain-of-function.

The paper identifies biallelic variants in ARHGAP19 as a cause of motor-predominant neuropathy with conduction slowing in multiple families.

This study shows that gain-of-function BK channel mutations disrupt limb control in fruit flies by altering neuronal development during a critical period, not by affecting mature circuits.
