This study identifies region-specific mechanosensory processes in Drosophila larvae that mediate self-righting behavior, showing Hox gene regulation is critical for this function.

The paper identifies the neural circuit for self-righting posture control in Drosophila larvae using connectomics and functional approaches, revealing structural principles of segmental nervous systems.

The paper identifies miR-2b-1 as a microRNA regulating embryonic movement in Drosophila by targeting the chloride channel gene Motor.

This study identifies a novel role for Hox genes in maintaining normal adult behavior in Drosophila by regulating dopaminergic neuron function and flight control.

This study identifies miR-263b's role in regulating sensory neuron function in Drosophila, affecting posture and sensory behaviours through repression of atonal.

The paper shows that a miRNA-Hox module controls self-righting behavior in different developmental stages of Drosophila, affecting motor neuron function rather than morphology.
