This study shows that a yeast prion modulates host physiology in Drosophila by affecting cold tolerance and locomotion through gut-brain signaling pathways.

The paper identifies a gut-brain-gut circuit in Drosophila that regulates sugar ingestion by monitoring sugar content and modulating digestive muscle activity.

This study identifies HisCl1 as a regulator of gustatory habituation in Drosophila sweet taste neurons, showing it reduces spike frequency adaptation and mediates sugar ingestion.

This study identifies GABARAP's role in modulating visual feedback neurons to regulate Drosophila male courtship behavior.

This study identifies Insulin-producing Cells (IPCs) in Drosophila as cold-sensing neurons that modulate sleep duration and depth in response to cold temperatures.
