A comprehensive mechanosensory connectome reveals a somatotopically organized neural circuit architecture controlling stimulus-aimed grooming of the Drosophila head

The paper maps a somatotopically organized mechanosensory connectome in Drosophila, revealing how neural circuits control location-specific grooming behaviors.

Distributed control circuits across a brain-and-cord connectome

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.

A leaky integrate-and-fire computational model based on the connectome of the entire adult Drosophila brain reveals insights into sensorimotor processing

The paper creates a computational model of the Drosophila brain connectome to study sensorimotor processing and validates predictions through experiments.

Somatotopic organization among parallel sensory pathways that promote a grooming sequence in Drosophila

The paper identifies mechanosensory neurons in Drosophila that elicit specific head grooming behaviors and maps their synaptic projections to define parallel pathways involved in grooming sequences.

A Systematic Nomenclature for the Drosophila Ventral Nervous System

The paper provides a systematic nomenclature for the Drosophila ventral nervous system, extending an existing framework to include thoracic and abdominal neuromeres.

Convergence of distinct subpopulations of mechanosensory neurons onto a neural circuit that elicits grooming

The paper identifies distinct mechanosensory neuron subpopulations in Drosophila that converge onto a shared neural circuit to elicit grooming behavior.

Simultaneous Activation Of Parallel Sensory Pathways Promotes A Grooming Sequence In Drosophila

The paper confirms a model where simultaneous activation of sensory pathways in Drosophila elicits a sequential grooming response through prioritized suppression.
