The synthesis of gene expression data and cis-regulatory analysis permits the elucidation of
genomic regulatory networks. These networks provide a direct visualization of the functional …

The biogenic amine serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine, 5-HT) plays a key role in regulating and
modulating various physiological and behavioral processes in both protostomes and …

Epithelial morphogenesis is essential for shaping organs and tissues and for establishment
of the three embryonic germ layers during gastrulation. Studies of gastrulation in Drosophila …

Here, we describe the embryonic central nervous system expression of 5,000 GAL4 lines
made using molecularly defined cis-regulatory DNA inserted into a single attP genomic …

Morphology is a defining feature of neuronal identity. Like neurons, glia display diverse
morphologies, both across and within glial classes, but are also known to be …

We hypothesized that cystine/glutamate transporters (xCTs) might be critical regulators of
ambient extracellular glutamate levels in the nervous system and that misregulation of this …

Lipid droplets (LDs) are common organelles of the majority of eukaryotic cell types. Their
biological significance has been extensively studied in mammalian liver cells and white …

Trans-synaptic adhesion between Neurexins (Nrxs) and Neuroligins (Nlgs) is thought to be
required for proper synapse organization and modulation, and mutations in several human …

As the Drosophila embryo transitions from the use of maternal RNAs to zygotic transcription,
domains of open chromatin, with relatively low nucleosome density and specific histone …

Ensheathment of axons by glial membranes is a key feature of complex nervous systems
ensuring the separation of single axons or axonal fascicles. Nevertheless, the molecules …
