The paper compares circadian membrane rhythms in mouse and Drosophila pacemaker neurons, finding conserved functional goals but divergent electrophysiological mechanisms across species.

The paper investigates species-specific neonicotinoid toxicity by engineering a cross-species chimeric nAChR subunit in Drosophila and assesses its impact on motor function and survival.

This study identifies Wwox as a protective factor against Alzheimer's disease by modulating metabolic pathways and reducing amyloid pathology in a Drosophila model.

This study shows that KCC and NKCC cotransporters regulate GABA responses and locomotor activity in Drosophila under constant light and long days through a feedback loop involving Wnk and Fray kinases.

This study creates a Drosophila model with a hSlo1 D434G mutation, showing motor dysfunction and altered action potentials linked to BK channel gain-of-function.

This paper shows that reducing Ank2 expression in Drosophila neurons causes AD-like features, suggesting ANK1 may be a therapeutic target.

This study shows that overexpressing the Drosophila DYRK1A ortholog, minibrain, in neurons leads to motor decline, neurodegeneration, and synaptic changes similar to Down syndrome features.

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

The paper identifies a lineage-related reciprocal inhibition circuit in Drosophila that mediates sensory-motor action selection through competitive inhibition.
