Schmitt M, Schmitt A, Wiesneth M, Huckelhoven A, Wu Z, Kuball J, et al.
Theranostics . 2017 May; 7(6):1705-1718. PMID: 28529646
Patients receiving an allogeneic stem cell graft from cytomegalovirus (CMV) seronegative donors are particularly prone to CMV reactivation with a high risk of disease and mortality. Therefore we developed and...

Michels B, Saumweber T, Biernacki R, Thum J, Glasgow R, Schleyer M, et al.
Front Behav Neurosci . 2017 May; 11:45. PMID: 28469564
Larval offer a study case for behavioral neurogenetics that is simple enough to be experimentally tractable, yet complex enough to be worth the effort. We provide a detailed, hands-on manual...

Kleber J, Chen Y, Michels B, Saumweber T, Schleyer M, Kahne T, et al.
Learn Mem . 2015 Dec; 23(1):9-20. PMID: 26670182
Synapsin is an evolutionarily conserved presynaptic phosphoprotein. It is encoded by only one gene in the Drosophila genome and is expressed throughout the nervous system. It regulates the balance between...

Niewalda T, Michels B, Jungnickel R, Diegelmann S, Kleber J, Kahne T, et al.
J Neurosci . 2015 May; 35(19):7487-502. PMID: 25972175
Adverse life events can induce two kinds of memory with opposite valence, dependent on timing: "negative" memories for stimuli preceding them and "positive" memories for stimuli experienced at the moment...

Niewalda T, Jeske I, Michels B, Gerber B
Biol Open . 2014 Jun; 3(7):575-82. PMID: 24907371
Understanding social behaviour requires a study case that is simple enough to be tractable, yet complex enough to remain interesting. Do larval Drosophila meet these requirements? In a broad sense,...

Sadanandappa M, Blanco Redondo B, Michels B, Rodrigues V, Gerber B, VijayRaghavan K, et al.
J Neurosci . 2013 Oct; 33(42):16576-85. PMID: 24133261
In Drosophila, short-term (STH) and long-term habituation (LTH) of olfactory avoidance behavior are believed to arise from the selective potentiation of GABAergic synapses between multiglomerular local circuit interneurons (LNs) and...

Diegelmann S, Klagges B, Michels B, Schleyer M, Gerber B
J Exp Biol . 2013 Mar; 216(Pt 6):939-51. PMID: 23447663
Drosophila larvae are focused on feeding and have few neurons. Within these bounds, however, there still are behavioural degrees of freedom. This review is devoted to what these elements of...

Michels B, Chen Y, Saumweber T, Mishra D, Tanimoto H, Schmid B, et al.
Learn Mem . 2011 Apr; 18(5):332-44. PMID: 21518740
Synapsin is an evolutionarily conserved, presynaptic vesicular phosphoprotein. Here, we ask where and how synapsin functions in associative behavioral plasticity. Upon loss or reduction of synapsin in a deletion mutant...

Saumweber T, Weyhersmuller A, Hallermann S, Diegelmann S, Michels B, Bucher D, et al.
J Neurosci . 2011 Mar; 31(9):3508-18. PMID: 21368063
The synapse-associated protein of 47 kDa (SAP47) is a member of a phylogenetically conserved gene family of hitherto unknown function. In Drosophila, SAP47 is encoded by a single gene (Sap47)...

Yarali A, Krischke M, Michels B, Saumweber T, Mueller M, Gerber B
J Neurogenet . 2008 Dec; 23(1-2):235-47. PMID: 19052955
An experience with electric shock can support two opposing kinds of behavioral effects: Stimuli that precede shock during training are subsequently avoided as predictors for punishment, whereas stimuli that follow...
