This study investigates how individuality in Drosophila melanogaster persists across different environmental contexts, finding that behavioral consistency remains in at least one trait despite environmental changes.

The paper completes the list of cell types in the Drosophila optic lobe and identifies connectivity rules, revealing new families and clusters related to visual functions.

The paper reconstructs the connectome of the Drosophila anterior visual pathway to understand how visual inputs are processed for navigation.

The paper maps synaptic targets of color and polarization-sensitive photoreceptors in Drosophila, revealing modality-specific wiring and spatial segregation in neural circuits.

The paper identifies parallel visual pathways with topographic and non-topographic organization connecting Drosophila eyes to the central brain, revealing distinct circuitry for spatial information relay.

The paper shows that autophagy regulates axonal filopodia kinetics, which restricts incorrect synaptic partner choice during Drosophila brain development.

The paper shows non-heritable variation in neural circuit development causes individual differences in behavior using Drosophila.

The paper describes cellular and synaptic adaptations in the fly's neural circuits for skylight polarization processing, highlighting modality-specific differences and wiring patterns in the medulla neuropil.

This study investigates how flying Drosophila respond to changing angles of polarized light, finding they maintain chosen headings and exhibit wavelength-specific behavior.

The paper identifies modality-specific synaptic circuits in the fly's dorsal rim area that process linearly polarized skylight for orientation.

This paper presents modular virtual flight arenas for studying skylight navigation in Drosophila, showing flies adjust headings in response to polarization changes.
