Tonically active interneurons gate motor output in Drosophila larvae

Takahisa Date, Yingtao Liu, Akihiro Yamaguchi, Paul McNulty, Rui Wu, Marc H Gershow, Akinao Nose, Maarten Zwart, Hiroshi Kohsaka

The paper identifies A02l neurons in Drosophila larvae that use tonic inhibition to regulate crawling behavior by maintaining muscle relaxation and controlling motor output.

Synchronous multi-segmental activity between metachronal waves controls locomotion speed in Drosophila larvae

Yingtao Liu, Eri Hasegawa, Akinao Nose, Maarten Zwart, Hiroshi Kohsaka

This study identifies a neural circuit in Drosophila larvae that controls locomotion speed by synchronizing muscle contractions across segments.

A neuromechanical model for Drosophila larval crawling based on physical measurements

Xiyang Sun, Yingtao Liu, Chang Liu, Koichi Mayumi, Kohzo Ito, Akinao Nose, Hiroshi Kohsaka

The paper develops a neuromechanical model for Drosophila larval crawling using physical measurements, showing it can reproduce locomotion kinematics and predict intersegmental connections' role.
