The paper identifies cathepsin B (CPR-4) as a regulator of synaptic remodelling during learning in C. elegans using synaptic proteomics.

This study investigates dopamine's role in forgetting in C. elegans, showing that dopamine-deficient mutants have enhanced learning and that DOP-2 and DOP-3 receptors modulate forgetting.

This study uses proximity labelling in C. elegans to identify proteins involved in appetitive gustatory learning, revealing novel regulators and pathways.

The paper tests if inhibiting the mitochondrial pyruvate carrier reduces synucleinopathy in PD models but finds no effect on Syn aggregation or neurodegeneration.

This study shows that injecting α-synuclein fibrils into the olfactory bulb of mice reduces odor detection sensitivity, detected by plethysmography but not buried pellet tests.
