The paper automatically aligns Drosophila connectomes to classify neurons and identify sex-specific and sexually dimorphic cell types in the ventral nerve cord.

The paper presents the first densely reconstructed adult fruit fly connectome integrating the brain and ventral nerve cord, revealing distributed control circuits involving local and long-range neural connections.

This study identifies descending neurons in Drosophila that control steering by modulating limb gestures during different phases of locomotion.

This paper identifies a recurrent neural circuit in Drosophila that enhances contrast of moving edges by deblurring visual inputs through temporal processing.

SPARC enables precise control of transgene expression in specific fractions of post-mitotic cells in Drosophila.
