The paper identifies a small cluster of interneurons in Drosophila that mediate multimodal sensory integration within the antennal lobe by relaying class-specific input.

This study shows that directional asymmetry in Drosophila brain circuits arises from axonal interactions of pioneer neurons and requires Fasciclin 2 for structural plasticity, impacting adult brain function.

The paper identifies an extraglomerular CO2 pathway in Drosophila that diverges from the canonical glomerular channel and contributes to context-dependent valence coding for CO2 avoidance behavior.

The paper identifies parallel visual pathways with topographic and non-topographic organization connecting Drosophila eyes to the central brain, revealing distinct circuitry for spatial information relay.

The paper identifies a topographic relay in Drosophila's central brain, showing how spatial visual information is preserved through specific neuron classes and synaptic organization.
