Dopaminergic neurons write and update memories with cell-type-specific rules
eLife, 2016 Associative learning is thought to involve parallel and distributed mechanisms of memory formation and storage. In Drosophila, the mushroom body (MB) is the major site of associative odor memory formation. Previously we described the anatomy of the adult

The Neuromodulatory Basis of Aggression: Lessons From the Humble Fruit Fly
Frontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience, 2022 Aggression is an intrinsic trait that organisms of almost all species, humans included, use to get access to food, shelter, and mating partners. To maximize fitness in the wild, an organism must vary the intensity of aggression toward the same or ...

Corticolimbic catecholamines in stress: A computational model of the appraisal of controllability [PDF]
, 2014 Appraisal of a stressful situation and the possibility to control or avoid it is thought to involve frontal-cortical mechanisms. The precise mechanism underlying this appraisal and its translation into effective stress coping (the regulation of ...

Dopamine and Noradrenaline in the Brain; Overlapping or Dissociate Functions?
Frontiers in Molecular Neuroscience, 2020 Dopamine and noradrenaline are crucial neuromodulators controlling brain states, vigilance, action, reward, learning, and memory processes. Ventral tegmental area (VTA) and Locus Coeruleus (LC) are canonically described as the main sources of dopamine ...

Reproductive roles of the vasopressin/oxytocin neuropeptide family in teleost fishes
Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2022 The vertebrate nonapeptide families arginine vasopressin (AVP) and oxytocin (OXT) are considered to have evolved from a single vasopressin-like peptide present in invertebrates and termed arginine vasotocin in early vertebrate evolution.

Models wagging the dog: are circuits constructed with disparate parameters? [PDF]
, 2007 In a recent article, Prinz, Bucher, and Marder (2004) addressed the fundamental question of whether neural systems are built with a fixed blueprint of tightly controlled parameters or in a way in which properties can vary largely from one individual to ...

Identification of Multiple Functional Receptors for Tyramine on an Insect Secretory Epithelium [PDF]
, 2017 The biogenic amine tyramine (TA) regulates many aspects of invertebrate physiology and development. Although three TA receptor subtypes have been identified (TAR1-3), specific receptors have not been linked to physiological responses in native tissue. In
