Insects use taste to evaluate food, hosts, and mates. Drosophila has many "orphan" taste
neurons that express no known taste receptors. The Ionotropic Receptor (IR) superfamily is …

… to the brain, so the timing of an odor whiff is accurately captured regardless of how strong
it is. Based on these results, Gorur-Shandilya et al. created a biophysical model that could …

… In summary, sima/Hif is induced in response to SNCA expression and is required cell
autonomously for neuroprotection. Furthermore, DFO upregulates Sima/Hif in fly brains and sup…

Coupled oscillatory circuits are ubiquitous in nervous systems. Given that most biological
processes are temperature-sensitive, it is remarkable that the neuronal circuits of …

… The anterior burster (AB) neuron is an endogenous burster and is electrically coupled to
PD neurons. (b) When the stn is cut, neuromodulatory input is removed and the circuit is ‘…

… The mechanism we put forward is a parsimonious way to achieve this that is also compatible
with … A mechanism that is tuned specifically to deal with these perturbations is necessarily …

… To fully account for these effects, a model that considers the spatio-temporal dynamics of
odor concentration along and across the tubes is needed, but is beyond the scope of this paper…

Contrast enhancement mediated by lateral inhibition within the nervous system enhances
the detection of salient features of visual and auditory stimuli, such as spatial and temporal …

Inferring the network topology from dynamical observations is a fundamental problem pervading
research on complex systems. Here, we present a simple, direct method for inferring the …

… Such a channel would be predicted to pass more current when Ca 2+ concentration is
high. In this study we show that fly EAG is inhibited by Ca 2+ /CaM, and we generate mutant …
