Abstract. In Drosophila melanogaster, Neuroligin 3 (Nlg3) is a postsynaptic membrane protein important for synapse development and social spacing behaviour

Four buildings at Western University housing science faculties have been on backup power for six days

Irreplaceable research samples have been destroyed, experiments delayed, and lab access cut off after a four-day power outage at Western University left biology researchers scrambling to protect years...

The layoffs jeopardize this resource, which has served more than 4,000 labs for about three decades.

This short review is targeted at researchers new to the Drosophila model (thereafter: a Drosophilist) in the field of neuroscience. We aim to provide …

Scientific Reports - Connectomic analysis of taste circuits in Drosophila

Brown et al. show that E1 clock neurons in Drosophila promote the switch from wake to sleep at dusk in a light- and time-dependent manner. By contrast, E2 neurons regulate canonical evening anticipati...

In Drosophila, a subpopulation of reward-encoding dopaminergic neurons antagonizes punishment-encoding neurons and can override punishment or hunger cues in favour of reward-seeking behaviour.
