This study shows that GstS1 in Drosophila exacerbates hyperexcitability in paraShu mutants through hemocyte-mediated neuroimmune interactions.

This study shows that confinement stress in Drosophila suppresses male courtship through dopamine-dependent neuroplasticity, with dopamine signaling essential for the lasting behavioral effects.

This study shows that Apterous (Ap) in Drosophila has distinct roles in memory consolidation and maintenance in different brain regions.

The paper identifies GstS1 as a modifier of Nav-channel mutant phenotypes in Drosophila, showing reduced GstS1 function suppresses hyperexcitability in paraShu mutants.

This study shows environmental light is essential for long-term memory maintenance in Drosophila by activating CREB in mushroom bodies via the Pdf signaling pathway.

The paper shows BBB efflux transporters regulate endogenous steroids and behaviors, and drug interactions with these transporters cause behavioral side effects.
