Defining Genes and Circuits Affecting Naïve and Experience-Dependent Alcohol Preference in Drosophila melanogaster
… In this dissertation, I utilized the model system Drosophila melanogaster to identify genes and circuits affecting ethanol-induced behaviors. From an unbiased genetic screen, I identified a novel gene that affects ethanol consumption in both flies and humans. Ras suppressor 1 (Rsu1) is …

EFA6/PSD3, Arf6 Modulator, Regulates Ethanol-Induced Behaviors Via the Insulin Receptor Signaling Pathway in Flies and Humans
… in Drosophila. S6k signaling in the adult nervous system determines flies' sensitivity to sedation. S6k activity, measured via levels of phosphorylation (P-S6k), is a molecular correlate of sedation and overall neuronal activity; P-S6k levels are decreased when neurons are silenced, as well …
