This study examines how starvation affects associative short-term memory in Drosophila across various learning tasks, finding task-dependent effects that challenge the adaptive specificity hypothesis.

The paper shows that intron retention generates single transmembrane-helix isoforms of aGPCRs, enabling mechanosensory function through heteromerization with 7TM subunits.

The paper introduces IMBA, a tool for analyzing individual Drosophila larva behavior, revealing inter- and intra-individual locomotion variability and its genetic modulation.
