This study identifies neural circuits in Drosophila larvae that process cold nociception, showing their role in generating cold-evoked behaviors and calcium responses.

The paper investigates how neuronal cells adapt to copper deficiency by increasing protein synthesis through mTORC1 activation and reduced PERK signaling in multiple model systems.

This study shows that CCT and Cullin1 regulate TORC1 to control dendritic arborization in Drosophila neurons, both in health and in Huntington's disease.

The paper identifies chloride-dependent mechanisms in Drosophila CIII neurons that underlie cold-evoked behavior and neuropathic sensitization.

This study identifies modality-specific roles for metabotropic GABAergic signaling and calcium-induced calcium release in regulating cold nociception in Drosophila CIII neurons.

This study identifies PP2A phosphatase as a regulator of cell-type specific dendritic morphology in Drosophila neurons, with distinct roles in promoting branching in Class IV neurons and restricting arborization in Class I neurons.

This study identifies molecular mechanisms of cognitive and mood deficits in rats with heart failure by analyzing synaptic plasticity gene expression in multiple brain regions.

This study identifies TRP channels Pkd2 and Brv1 as essential for cold sensitization in Drosophila larvae following UV-induced injury, revealing distinct behavioral and neuronal responses.
