The paper identifies spinal-projecting serotonergic neurons that enhance locomotor speed and duration through context-dependent activity and prolonged neuromodulatory effects.

This study investigates how inhibitory neural circuits regulate locomotor statistics in Drosophila, identifying specific neurons that control search behavior and movement parameters.

This study shows that the RNA-binding protein Imp, expressed in Type II neural stem cells, regulates olfactory navigation circuitry and behavior in Drosophila by specifying multiple circuit components and affecting neuronal morphology and function.
