This study shows that Drosophila Dpr and DIP proteins are GPI anchored, and this modification is necessary for their cell surface organization and function.

The paper systematically profiles dprs and DIPs expression in Drosophila larval neurons to identify cell surface codes involved in synaptic recognition.

The paper investigates how the loss of one convergent synaptic input affects the structural and functional plasticity of adjacent inputs in Drosophila neuromuscular circuits, finding that co-innervation is necessary for robust compensation.

The paper shows prolonged Hunchback expression expands and re-wires a motor neuron cohort in Drosophila larvae, revealing its role in circuit assembly and development.
