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.

While monitoring neuronal activity in freely moving Drosophila is challenging, HI-FISH enables brain-wide mapping of active neurons and reveals behavior-specific neural activity.

Expression pattern analysis of neurotransmitter synthesis, secretion, and reuptake machinery reveals animal-wide usage of neurotransmitters in both sexes of Caenorhabditis elegans.

Large extracellular vesicle extrusion that eliminates neuronal protein aggregates and organelles is potentiated by uterine filling, linking reproductive status to maternal nervous system health, and demonstrating mechanobiology components in exophergenesis.

Prothoracicotropic hormone and ecdysone belonging to the insect PG axis modulate virgin female sexual receptivity.
