Neuron cilia constrain glial regulators to microdomains around distal neurons

The paper shows glia compartmentalize regulatory cues into microdomains around specific neurons, with KCC-3 localization dependent on neuron cilia and aging.

Origins of proprioceptor feature selectivity and topographic maps in the Drosophila leg

The paper investigates biomechanical and molecular mechanisms underlying proprioceptor diversity in Drosophila legs, identifying a biomechanical basis for joint angle selectivity and a goniotopic map of joint angle.

Central processing of leg proprioception in Drosophila

This study identifies three Drosophila neuron types that process leg proprioception, revealing how central circuits integrate sensory information to guide motor behavior.

A size principle for leg motor control in Drosophila

The paper investigates whether a size principle governs motor neuron activity in Drosophila, finding that motor neurons controlling leg flexion follow a size-based hierarchy in function and recruitment order.

Neural coding of leg proprioception in Drosophila

The paper investigates how Drosophila leg proprioceptors encode sensory information during movement, identifying distinct neuronal subtypes that encode different kinematic features.
