Sexual dimorphism in the complete connectome of the Drosophila male central nervous system

The paper presents the complete connectome of the Drosophila male central nervous system and compares it to the female connectome, identifying sex-specific and dimorphic neuronal types.

Networks of sexually dimorphic neurons that regulate social behaviors in Drosophila

The paper identifies and characterizes sexually dimorphic neuron networks in Drosophila that regulate social behaviors, revealing their connectivity and distinct functional roles.

Connectome-driven neural inventory of a complete visual system

A FIB-SEM connectome of the male Drosophila right optic lobe sorts ∼53,000 neurons into 727 types, with neurotransmitter predictions and 577 matched split-GAL4 lines.

Social state gates vision using three circuit mechanisms in Drosophila

The paper identifies three circuit mechanisms in Drosophila that adjust visual attention during aggressive states by amplifying responses to fly-sized visual objects.

A comprehensive neuroanatomical survey of the Drosophila Lobula Plate Tangential Neurons with predictions for their optic flow sensitivity

The paper reconstructs and identifies 58 Lobula Plate Tangential Neurons in Drosophila using EM and predicts their optic flow sensitivity through computational anatomy.

Eye structure shapes neuron function in Drosophila motion vision

The paper shows that the preferred directions of Drosophila DS neurons are shaped by the compound eye's structure, linking peripheral anatomy to neural function and behavior.

A connectome of the Drosophila central complex reveals network motifs suitable for flexible navigation and context-dependent action selection

The paper presents the first complete connectome of the Drosophila central complex, revealing network motifs that support flexible navigation and context-dependent action selection.

Neuronal circuitry underlying female aggression in Drosophila

This study identifies neuronal circuits in Drosophila that regulate female aggression through optogenetic manipulation and connectomic analysis.

A Connectome and Analysis of the Adult Drosophila Central Brain

The paper presents a detailed connectome of the adult Drosophila central brain, including new methods for data analysis and biological insights into neural circuit organization.

The connectome of the adult Drosophila mushroom body: implications for function

The paper maps the synaptic connectivity of the Drosophila mushroom body and identifies new circuit components and structures in sensory input processing and output modulation.

A Connectome of the Adult Drosophila Central Brain

A dense electron-microscopy reconstruction of half the fly central brain, with nearly every cell typed and queryable online, turns months of tracing partners into a database lookup.
