Mosquito odorant receptor for DEET and methyl jasmonate.

Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U. S. A. 111(46) , 16592-7, (2014)

Insect repellents are important prophylactic tools for travelers and populations living in endemic areas of malaria, dengue, encephalitis, and other vector-borne diseases. DEET (N,N-diethyl-3-methylbenzamide) is a 6-decade-old synthetic repellent, which is st...

Long-term memory formation in Drosophila requires training-dependent glial transcription.

J. Neurosci. 35(14) , 5557-65, (2015)

Long-term memory (LTM) formation requires de novo gene expression in neurons, and subsequent structural and functional modification of synapses. However, the importance of gene expression in glia during this process has not been well studied. In this report, ...

Mushroom body output neurons encode valence and guide memory-based action selection in Drosophila.

Elife 3 , e04580, (2014)

Animals discriminate stimuli, learn their predictive value and use this knowledge to modify their behavior. In Drosophila, the mushroom body (MB) plays a key role in these processes. Sensory stimuli are sparsely represented by ∼2000 Kenyon cells, which conver...

Atmospheric pressure gas chromatography coupled to quadrupole-time of flight mass spectrometry as a tool for identification of volatile migrants from autoadhesive labels used for direct food contact.

J. Mass Spectrom. 49(11) , 1181-90, (2014)

Pressure-sensitive adhesives (PSA) are used to manufacture labels that are applied directly on the food. These adhesives could contain not only intentionally added compounds (IAS) to the adhesive formula but also non-intentionally added substances (NIAS), due...

The full-length form of the Drosophila amyloid precursor protein is involved in memory formation.

J. Neurosci. 35(3) , 1043-51, (2015)

The APP plays a central role in AD, a pathology that first manifests as a memory decline. Understanding the role of APP in normal cognition is fundamental in understanding the progression of AD, and mammalian studies have pointed to a role of secreted APPα in...

Identification of volatile metabolites from five fungal species cultivated on two media.

Appl. Environ. Microbiol. 61(8) , 2911-8, (1995)

Five fungal species, Aspergillus versicolor, Penicillium commune, Cladosporium cladosporioides, Paecilomyces variotii, and Phialophora fastigiata, were cultivated on two media, malt extract agar and dichloran glycerol agar. Culture flasks provided with inlet ...

Dissecting neural pathways for forgetting in Drosophila olfactory aversive memory.

Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U. S. A. 112 , E6663-72, (2015)

Recent studies have identified molecular pathways driving forgetting and supported the notion that forgetting is a biologically active process. The circuit mechanisms of forgetting, however, remain largely unknown. Here we report two sets of Drosophila neuron...

Genome-Wide Association Analyses Point to Candidate Genes for Electric Shock Avoidance in Drosophila melanogaster.

PLoS ONE 10 , e0126986, (2015)

Electric shock is a common stimulus for nociception-research and the most widely used reinforcement in aversive associative learning experiments. Yet, nothing is known about the mechanisms it recruits at the periphery. To help fill this gap, we undertook a ge...

Aging accelerates memory extinction and impairs memory restoration in Drosophila.

Biochem. Biophys. Res. Commun. 460 , 944-8, (2015)

Age-related memory impairment (AMI) is a phenomenon observed from invertebrates to human. Memory extinction is proposed to be an active inhibitory modification of memory, however, whether extinction is affected in aging animals remains to be elucidated. Emplo...
