The paper shows that repeated nociceptive stimulation in Drosophila larvae increases escape behavior through a positive feedback loop involving sensory and octopaminergic neurons.

This study identifies a GABAergic feedback loop involving SeIN128, Basin-2, and A00c neurons that regulates the transition from rolling to escape crawling in Drosophila larvae.

The paper investigates how mutations in SLC1A3 (hEAAT1) affect chloride channel activity and glutamate transport in glial cells, linking these changes to the pathology of episodic ataxia type 6.

The paper maps the synaptic connectome of the Drosophila larva mushroom body and identifies feedback pathways that enable modulatory neurons to compute teaching signals for reinforcement learning.
