This study shows that enhancing sleep restores memory in flies with damaged Mushroom Bodies, revealing a role for circadian rhythms in memory impairment.

This study shows that sleep deprivation, fragmentation, and social jet lag in Drosophila increase temperature preference, suggesting a link between sleep disruption and thermoregulation through specific clock neurons.

The paper compares optogenetic and pharmacological induction of sleep in Drosophila, finding they activate distinct transcriptional programs.

The paper shows that dFB neurons in Drosophila adjust their response properties based on environmental demands and prior metabolic challenges to regulate sleep drive.

This study examines how a 3-hour weekend light shift disrupts circadian rhythms in Drosophila, leading to desynchrony in neural networks and behavioral defects.

This study shows that sleep supports spatial learning in Drosophila, with sleep loss and aging impairing learning, which can be reversed by enhancing sleep.
