This study shows Drosophila use odor motion direction, detected via antennae signal correlations, to navigate odor plumes, similar to visual motion detection.

This study shows that walking Drosophila use biased random walks within odor plumes, guided by the timing of odor encounters rather than reflexive behaviors.

The paper introduces methods to deliver and calibrate dynamic odorant stimuli in the lab, improving the accuracy of olfactory research.
