The paper presents the first densely reconstructed adult fruit fly connectome integrating the brain and ventral nerve cord, revealing distributed control circuits involving local and long-range neural connections.

This study investigates how the thalamic head direction system adapts to environmental cues through dynamic population dynamics and memory mechanisms.

The paper introduces a zero-inflated gamma model for deconvolved calcium imaging traces, showing it outperforms simpler models in simulated and real neural data.
