Phototransduction in Drosophila [PDF]
Current Opinion in Neurobiology, 2015 Phototransduction in Drosophila's microvillar photoreceptors is mediated by phospholipase C (PLC) resulting in activation of two distinct Ca(2+)-permeable channels, TRP and TRPL. Here we review recent evidence on the unresolved mechanism of their activation, including the hypothesis that the channels are mechanically activated by physical effects of ...

Roles of Drosophila Hox Genes in the Assembly of Neuromuscular Networks and Behavior
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2022 Hox genes have been known for specifying the anterior-posterior axis (AP) in bilaterian body plans. Studies in vertebrates have shown their importance in developing region-specific neural circuitry and diversifying motor neuron pools. In Drosophila, they

Circadian Rhythm Abnormalities in Parkinson's Disease from Humans to Flies and Back [PDF]
, 2018 Clinical and research studies have suggested a link between Parkinson\u2019s disease (PD) and alterations in the circadian clock. Drosophila melanogaster may represent a useful model to study the relationship between the circadian clock and PD.

Current Opinion in Neurobiology, 2015 The dissection of the Drosophila auditory system has revealed multiple parallels between fly and vertebrate hearing. Recent studies have analyzed the operation of auditory sensory cells and the processing of sound in the fly's brain. Neuronal responses to sound have been characterized, and novel classes of auditory neurons have been defined; transient ...

Macrophage-derived upd3 Cytokine causes impaired glucose homeostasis and reduced lifespan in drosophila fed a lipid-rich diet [PDF]
, 2014 Long-term consumption of fatty foods is associated with obesity, macrophage activation and inflammation, metabolic imbalance, and a reduced lifespan. We took advantage of Drosophila genetics to investigate the role of macrophages and the pathway(s) that ...

Neural Representations of Courtship Song in the Drosophila Brain [PDF]
, 2012 Acoustic communication in drosophilid flies is based on the production and perception of courtship songs, which facilitate mating. Despite decades of research on courtship songs and behavior in Drosophila, central auditory responses have remained ...

Evaluation of \u3ci\u3ePaederus Littorarius\u3c/i\u3e (Coleoptera: Staphylinidae) as an Egg Predator of \u3ci\u3eChrysoteuchia Topiaria\u3c/i\u3e (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae in Wisconsin Cranberry Bogs [PDF]
, 2018 A preliminary study was conducted to determine if the rove beetle, Paederus littorarius Grav., would exhibit a feeding preference for the eggs of the pyralid moth, Chrysoteuchia topiaria Zeller, a pest in Wisconsin cranberry bogs.
