This study identifies a gut-derived serine protease that reduces sleep but extends lifespan in Drosophila by increasing peripheral ROS, suggesting a link between sleep reduction and stress adaptation.

This study shows that constant light impairs associative memory in Drosophila for three generations, mediated by the PIWI/piRNA pathway and Dopamine-1-like Receptor 1.

This paper identifies molecular mechanisms underlying transgenerational epigenetic inheritance of pathogen avoidance in C. elegans, showing that specific small RNAs from bacteria mediate this behavior across generations.

The paper identifies RNA processing genes modulated during sleep-dependent memory in Drosophila and shows their effects on sleep and memory consolidation.

Single-nucleus RNA sequencing of adult C. elegans neurons identifies transcriptional changes in daf-2 mutants related to chemosensation, learning, and memory.

The paper critiques Gainey et al.'s failure to replicate transgenerational epigenetic inheritance experiments in C. elegans due to methodological deviations.

The paper shows that PF15 small RNA Pfs1 induces transgenerational avoidance of PF15 in C. elegans by targeting the vab-1 Ephrin receptor gene, revealing a new bacterial sRNA/C. elegans gene target pair involved in pathogen avoidance.

The paper shows a bacterial small RNA induces transgenerational learned avoidance in C. elegans, with potential maladaptive effects on beneficial bacteria.

CeAid is a smartphone app that streamlines data logging for C. elegans assays using gestures and voice recognition, reducing manual effort.

The paper shows that C. elegans uses the Cer1 retrotransposon to transmit pathogen avoidance memories across generations through inter-tissue signaling.

This study shows that C. elegans uses bacterial non-coding RNAs to learn and transmit pathogenic avoidance behavior across generations.

The paper shows that C. elegans uses bacterial small RNAs to induce transgenerational pathogenic avoidance without direct bacterial contact.

This study shows that C. elegans can transmit learned pathogenic avoidance behavior to multiple generations through epigenetic mechanisms, specifically involving the PRG-1/Piwi homolog.
