The paper identifies dopaminergic neurons that link threat processing to cardiac modulation and locomotor responses in Drosophila.

The paper identifies a neural mechanism in the ventral hippocampus that stabilizes aversive beliefs during extinction learning by suppressing adaptive behavioral changes.

The paper identifies a neuropeptidergic circuit involving Hugin and PK2-R1 that regulates larval sleep in Drosophila, but not adult sleep.

This study identifies NOTCH2NL as a human-specific gene promoting astrocyte proliferation and gliogenesis through expansion of glial progenitor states.

This study shows that repeated stress suppresses a key node in the Drosophila courtship circuitry, leading to persistent behavioral changes.

This study identifies three orthogonal modes of gene expression evolution in human neocortical development and links them to disease vulnerabilities.

This study shows that Drosophila larval epidermal cells, not nociceptors, mediate heat-induced sensitization to noxious stimuli through thermosensitive calcium responses involving Orai and Stim.

The paper shows that Drosophila epidermal cells are mechanosensitive and modulate nociceptive behaviors by activating sensory neurons and altering responses to mechanical stimuli.

The paper shows that species-specific differences in cortical excitatory neuron subtypes arise from non-uniform scaling of neurogenesis timing, regulated by Wnt signaling in rats.

This paper introduces flow zoometry, a high-throughput screening method for Drosophila, enabling rapid, automated, and high-resolution analysis of whole animals.
