Summary: The study advocates for a principled approach to combining cognitive behavioral therapy with non-invasive brain stimulation, aiming to improve the treatment of neuropsychiatric disorders by synergistically activating neural circuits. Careful consideration of brain-state interactions and nuances related to cognitive behavioral therapy can increase the potential positive synergistic effects of these combinations.

Summary: The goal of modern neuroscience is to understand how connections form and function in the brain. Studying the nervous system in fruit flies has led to the discovery of molecular and genetic mechanisms underlying synapse development. In the past, research focused on the neuromuscular junction, but recent tools and techniques have allowed for a clearer understanding of synapse formation in the central nervous system. The use of fruit flies as a genetic model has provided novel insights into neural development.

Summary: The main objective of this work is to highlight the importance of neuroscience studies in criminal law practice, particularly in evaluating the criminal responsibility of individuals with mental illnesses who have committed violent acts. The consideration of neuroscientific research in judicial decision making is crucial, as biological factors play a significant role in court rulings within the spectrum of accountability - non-accountability. This relevance extends beyond the implementation of certain security measures, but also impacts the rehabilitation of individuals and the prevention of future offenses.

Summary: Genetic studies in the fruit fly, Drosophila melanogaster, have revealed the multifunctionality of sensory receptors in different senses, influencing research directions in various animal models. The discovery of versatile sensory receptors in flies has provided valuable insights into sensory biology and its applications in other species.

Summary: Hemolymph is driven through the antennae of Drosophila melanogaster by the rhythmic contraction of muscle 16 (m16), which is an auto-active rhythmic somatic muscle. The activity of m16 leads to the rapid perfusion of the antenna by hemolymph, as well as rhythmic agitation of the brain.

Summary: This study explores the molecular and neuronal mechanisms underlying the transition from feeding to courtship in Drosophila melanogaster. The results show that feeding is prioritized over courtship in starved males, but the consumption of protein-rich food rapidly reverses this order. A gut-derived neuropeptide hormone called Diuretic hormone 31 (Dh31) plays a role in switching from feeding to courtship. The findings also reveal that Dh31 stimulates specific brain neurons through the circulation, leading to the prioritization of courtship over feeding through parallel pathways.
