A positive feedback loop between sensory and octopaminergic neurons underlies nociceptive plasticity in Drosophila larvae

The paper shows that repeated nociceptive stimulation in Drosophila larvae increases escape behavior through a positive feedback loop involving sensory and octopaminergic neurons.

Feedback inhibition by a descending GABAergic neuron regulates timing of escape behavior in Drosophila larvae

This study identifies a GABAergic feedback loop involving SeIN128, Basin-2, and A00c neurons that regulates the transition from rolling to escape crawling in Drosophila larvae.
