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.

Cell type-specific contributions to a persistent aggressive internal state in female Drosophila

The paper investigates the roles of aIPg and pC1d cell types in generating a persistent aggressive internal state in female Drosophila, finding that aIPg stimulation induces aggression while pC1d stimulation does not, and that pC1d and pC1e work synergistically.

Whole-body simulation of realistic fruit fly locomotion with deep reinforcement learning

This paper develops a detailed biomechanical model of fruit flies for simulating locomotion using reinforcement learning.

The Fly Disco: Hardware and software for optogenetics and fine-grained fly behavior analysis

The paper introduces Fly Disco, a system for video collection, optogenetic manipulation, and behavioral analysis of fruit flies, along with a dataset for pose estimation.

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.

Neuronal circuitry underlying female aggression in Drosophila

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