A Premotor Excitation-Inhibition Motif Shapes Protopodium Dynamics During Drosophila Larval Forward Crawling

Ankura Sitaula, Lizzy Olsen, Dulanjana M. Perera…·Aref Arzan Zarin

In Drosophila larvae, ventral oblique (VO) muscles drive protopodium folding, and a tri-segmental A27h–A18b3–A06c premotor excitation-inhibition motif restricts their activation to a late, forward-specific window.
