     In reporting on a valuable "learning proteome" for a C. elegans gustatory associative learning paradigm, this work identifies a new set of genes to be tested for roles in learning and memory, describes molecular pathways involving these genes and relevant for learning and memory in C. elegans, and deliver a new set of tools for prodding worm behavior. The methods and results convincingly support the findings, which will be of interest to neuroscientists and developmental biologists seeking to understand the self-assembly and operation of neural circuits for learning and memory.

     eLife Assessment

     On the basis of convincing computational, biophysical, and cell-based evidence, this study reports the important finding that the dynamin inhibitor Dyngo-4a broadly affects lipid packing and plasma membrane dynamics, independently of its action on dynamin. The evidence, obtained by a wide range of methods including a newly developed assay visualizing internalized caveolae, provides solid support for the authors' main claim on the role of lipid packing in caveolae internalization. This work will be of significant interest to cell biologists, biophysicists, and chemists interested in membrane remodeling and drug-membrane interactions.
