This study shows that a Syntaxin1A mutation in Drosophila reduces total sleep and causes fragmented sleep without affecting locomotor activity.

The paper identifies molecular gradients in Drosophila neurons that regulate synaptic connectivity for visuomotor transformation.
Giovanni Frighetto, Mark Arthur Frye
The paper shows T3 neurons in Drosophila mediate object tracking saccades by responding to visual stimuli and modulating saccade frequency through silencing or optogenetic manipulation.

This study investigates how Drosophila melanogaster responds to visual distractors during locomotion, revealing two distinct behavioral strategies related to action selection.
