Four connectome-defined Drosophila NPF cell types sit in separate circuits with distinct, sometimes opposing functions; population-wide NPF knockdown hides these, and activity manipulation can differ from peptide loss.

The paper describes a protocol for quantifying Drosophila feeding behavior using flyPAD/optoPAD, enabling high-throughput measurements and optogenetic control.

This study shows that reduced olfactory experience in adult honey bees leads to less developed antennal lobes, reduced inter-individual variation in glomerular responses, and impaired odor discrimination in learning assays.
