This study shows that habitat structure influences social behavior and molecular pathways in desert locusts, leading to differences in group dynamics and gene expression.

This study shows that Inx7 gap junctions synchronize antennal lobe projection neurons and are essential for olfactory function in Drosophila.

This study shows that desert locusts adjust their olfactory processing based on population density, enhancing food detection in swarms through synergistic social and food odor responses.

This study identifies Salt Inducible Kinases (Siks) as potential regulators of the Notch pathway in Drosophila retina development, linking their dysfunction to tumor-like overgrowth.

The paper shows that hungry Drosophila use a neural circuit involving dopamine and octopamine to balance perseverance and withdrawal during food seeking.
