This study shows that gain-of-function BK channel mutations disrupt limb control in fruit flies by altering neuronal development during a critical period, not by affecting mature circuits.

This study creates a Drosophila model with a hSlo1 D434G mutation, showing motor dysfunction and altered action potentials linked to BK channel gain-of-function.

This study examines how a BK channel mutation affects synaptic plasticity and motor circuits in Drosophila larvae, finding altered neurotransmitter release and CPG dysfunction.

This study identifies a circuit in Drosophila where DN1p neurons integrate circadian, homeostatic, and environmental cues to regulate sleep onset.

This study identifies Neurocalcin's role in promoting sleep by inhibiting a movement-promoting neural network in Drosophila.
