NMDA receptors mediate prominent supralinear summation of clustered excitatory inputs to the dendrites of neurogliaform and oriens-lacunosum moleculare interneurons of the hippocampus, showing that these cells perform sub-cellular computations.

The opposing dopamine receptors Dop1R1 and Dop2R are both enriched around the pre- and postsynaptic sites of different types of neurons, including dopaminergic neurons, in the fly brain.

It is of significance in identifying temperature sensitive brain regions in brain energy metabolism, as which might provide potential targetable sites in the treatment of brain lipid metabolism-associated neurological disorders.

An in vivo electrophysiology approach identifies an incretin-like effect in Drosophila insulin-producing cells, highlighting key circuit dynamics which govern glucose homeostasis via conserved mechanisms.
