The paper identifies neuronal populations in Drosophila that control different stages of egg deposition behavior.

This study shows that Drosophila melanogaster females display aggression towards mating pairs, driven by mating drive and olfactory cues.

This study investigates the role of lateral horn (LH) neurons in CO2 avoidance behavior in flies, showing their involvement in innate responses and coordination with mushroom body outputs.

This study shows that walking speed modulates freeze/flee decisions in Drosophila melanogaster and identifies P9 descending neurons as critical for freezing behavior.
