The paper performs a CRISPR screen in Drosophila to identify genes involved in presynaptic homeostatic plasticity, finding Ekar as a critical regulator.

The paper identifies four stable behavioral identities in Drosophila and shows how social experience, mating, and microbiome manipulation alter their expression, revealing social memory.

The paper uses cell-type-resolved RNA-seq to show distinct molecular engrams in Drosophila neuromodulatory neurons after different sexual experiences.

This study identifies a conserved A-to-I RNA editing site in Drosophila GluClα essential for olfactory behaviors and social interactions.

The paper shows that repeated mating failure in Drosophila leads to stress-like states and impaired coping, mediated by specific neurons.

The paper identifies a unique transcriptome and proteome in Drosophila NPFR neurons linked to social behavior regulation through RNA editing and ubiquitination manipulation.

The paper studies how prior social experience and group composition shape social networks and interactions in Drosophila, revealing complex group structures influenced by sensory cues and individual states.

The paper presents a spatial RNA editing map in the Drosophila brain, revealing distinct editing signatures across neuronal populations and identifying novel editing sites in conserved regions of essential neuronal genes.
