This study identifies aPKC and FoxP co-expression in wing steering motoneurons as necessary for operant self-learning in Drosophila, with aPKC acting via non-canonical pathways.

This study investigates Drosophila dopamine neurons and finds they do not consistently drive approach or avoidance behaviors, instead showing context-dependent valence changes.

The paper shows that a null allele of the tβh gene in Drosophila exhibits differential dominance in behavioral traits, suggesting complex interactions between aminergic systems and implications for transgenic techniques.

This study identifies FoxP circuits in Drosophila involved in locomotion and object fixation, showing developmental expression is required for these behaviors.

MARGO enables real-time tracking of many animals and closed-loop control of stimuli for large-scale behavioral experiments.

This paper challenges the sensorimotor hypothesis by proposing that operant principles better explain brain function, emphasizing the role of feedback in shaping neural activity and behavior.
