The mushroom body (MB) is a computational center in the Drosophila brain. The intricate
neural circuits of the mushroom body enable it to store associative memories and process …

Drosophila melanogaster has become a significant model organism for alcohol research. In
flies, a rich variety of behaviors can be leveraged for identifying genes affecting alcohol …

Glioma is the most common and aggressive primary adult brain tumor. Long non-coding
RNAs (lncRNAs) have important roles in a variety of biological properties of cancers. Here …

Alcohol use disorder (AUD) exacts an immense toll on individuals, families, and society.
Genetic factors determine up to 60% of an individual's risk of developing problematic alcohol …

Genetic variation in brain size may provide the basis for the evolution of the brain and
complex behaviours. The genetic substrate and the selective pressures acting on brain size …

Background Despite the profound clinical significance and strong heritability of alcohol use
disorder (AUD), we do not yet have a comprehensive understanding of the naturally …

Thousand and one amino acid kinases (TAOKs) are relatively understudied and functionally
pleiotropic protein kinases that have emerged as important regulators of neurodevelopment …

Our understanding of the networks of genes and protein functions involved in Alcohol Use
Disorder (AUD) remains incomplete, as do the mechanisms by which these networks lead to …

Organismal phenotypes usually have a quantitative distribution, and their genetic
architecture can be studied by genome-wide association (GWA) mapping approaches. In …

Delineating the factors that affect behavioral and neurological responses to alcohol is critical
to facilitate measures for preventing or treating alcohol abuse. The high degree of conserved …
