The paper introduces coccinella, a reductionist framework for high-throughput behavioural analysis in Drosophila melanogaster using real-time tracking and resource-lean statistical learning.

This study identifies Drosophila nAChR subunits interacting with insecticidal toxins using CRISPR/Cas9 and pull-down assays, providing insights for insecticide design.

The paper validates four Drosophila premotor interneuron driver lines using electrophysiology, confirming their monosynaptic connection to the aCC motoneuron.

This study shows that Jeb-Alk signaling stabilizes motor circuit function during postembryonic growth in Drosophila by preventing excessive synaptic strengthening.

The paper shows that manipulating activity of a specific excitatory interneuron during a critical period in Drosophila larval development alters network tuning, with nitric oxide signaling playing a role dependent on prior network activity.

This study investigates how mutations in Membrin/GOSR2 affect dendritic growth and synaptic integrity in Drosophila models, revealing their role in neurological disorders.
