This paper shows how hunger reconfigures a reward circuit in Drosophila to support memory formation by switching dopamine neuron activity modes.

This study identifies central and peripheral neural pathways governing coordinated walking in Drosophila using sensory-deprivation experiments and connectome analysis.

The paper shows that inducing backward movement in Drosophila engages dopaminergic punishment and supports aversive memories, explaining the avoidance paradox.

This study shows that reduced Nf1 expression in Drosophila alters motor behavior patterns and prioritization, but not motor coordination, in a state-dependent manner.

The paper creates a computational model of the Drosophila brain connectome to study sensorimotor processing and validates predictions through experiments.

This study identifies two distinct neural mechanisms for context-specific halting in Drosophila during feeding and grooming behaviors.

This study identifies two distinct neuronal pathways in Drosophila that drive different forward walking behaviors: one for object-directed steering and one for fast straight walking.

The paper identifies a female-specific neuron subtype in Drosophila that induces male-like social behaviors and is essential for sexual receptivity.
