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

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.

The paper describes a collection of split-GAL4 driver lines for targeting specific neuron types in Drosophila, enabling functional and molecular studies.

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.

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

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