The paper shows that disrupting activity in specific dopaminergic neurons during memory consolidation impairs long-term memory and causes sleep fragmentation in Drosophila.

The paper identifies subtype-specific roles of ellipsoid body ring neurons in sleep regulation in Drosophila using thermogenetic screens and statistical models.

The paper shows V3 interneurons are active during fictive swimming in larval zebrafish and contribute to locomotor amplitude but not frequency.

This study shows that rest, not sleep, is required for Drosophila to learn a sucrose-reinforced operant task, and identifies a role for cAMP in learning.

The paper introduces a method to measure sleep pressure and depth in Drosophila using movement data without disrupting behavior, showing these parameters are independent and influence total sleep.

This study shows that Ca2+/CaM inhibition of Drosophila EAG channels regulates presynaptic excitability and memory formation.
