Why are some reviewers so confidently nasty? Is it necessary to be like that?! Don’t they understand how much work goes into each manuscript and how damaging it can be for some people to read the vitriol? Or even consider that they might be wrong?!

Visceral signaling of post-ingestive malaise directs memory updating in Drosophila
Consolidation is a time when labile memories transition to a stable form. Malaise learning in Drosophila reveals consolidation to also permit memory updating. Flies taught to associate one of two odor...

The Janelia Atalanta plasmids provide a simple and efficient CRISPR/Cas9-mediated homology directed repair platform for Drosophila
Homology-directed repair (HDR) is a powerful tool for modifying genomes in precise ways to address many biological questions. Use of Clustered Regularly Interspersed Short Palindromic Repeats (CRISPR)...

We are currently repeating key experiments of our multisensory learning study. We have communicated with the journal and will correct literature as necessary and as soon as possible. Please get in touch if this impacts your work. Thanks to those that raised a flag. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37100911/
Multisensory learning binds neurons into a cross-modal memory engram - PubMed
Associating multiple sensory cues with objects and experience is a fundamental brain process that improves object recognition and memory performance. However, neural mechanisms that bind sensory featu...

Dopaminergic systems create reward seeking despite adverse consequences - Nature
In Drosophila, a subpopulation of reward-encoding dopaminergic neurons antagonizes punishment-encoding neurons and can override punishment or hunger cues in favour of reward-seeking behaviour.
