Some dopaminergic neurons release both dopamine and nitric oxide to increase the flexibility of olfactory memories.

Building on previous work (Aso et al., 2014a; Aso et al., 2014b), cell-type-specific drivers and optogenetics are used to control the local release of dopamine and reveal that distinct learning rules are implemented in parallel memory units.

Drep-2 is the first representative of the evolutionary conserved CIDE-N protein family found at synapses and is required for associative learning by functionally intersecting with metabotropic signaling.

Alcohol modifies dopaminergic microcircuits required for acquisition and expression of sensory memories in Drosophila resulting in a shift in behavioral response from malleable to inflexible.

Comprehensive, high-resolution lineage mapping of the fly brain reveals straightforward rules that drive neuronal complexity and probable evidence of brain evolution.

Neuronal diversity is expanded by a temporal fating paradigm utilizing hierarchical gene regulation.

Connectomic analysis in the fly's (Drosophila) learning and memory center identifies unique circuit motifs that have not been anticipated by over 30 years of extensive anatomical, experimental and theoretical studies.

Current genome sequencing methods cannot reliably detect somatic transposition in Drosophila.
