    Machine learning of honey bee olfactory behavior identifies repellent odorants in free-flying bees in the field

    Joel Kowalewski, Barbara F Baer-Imhoof ... Anandasankar Ray
    Honey bee olfactory aversion can be modeled using machine learning to iteratively discover bee-selective repellents, validated in free-flying assays, that can potentially reduce contact with pesticides.

    Region-specific mechanosensation modulates Drosophila postural control behaviour

    William Roseby, Jonathan AC Menzies ... Claudio R Alonso
    Behavioural, optogenetic, and gene expression analyses demonstrate that regional mechanosensory processes instructed by Hox gene inputs are essential for postural control in Drosophila larvae linking local body features to behaviour.

    Brief disruption of activity in a subset of dopaminergic neurons during consolidation impairs long-term memory by fragmenting sleep

    Lin Yan, Litao Wu ... Chang Liu
    A state-dependent inhibitory dopaminergic microcircuit co-regulates sleep and long-term memory via distinct signaling cascades.
