This study identifies task- and leg-specific motor modules in Drosophila that enable curve walking by reconfiguring leg kinematics for arcs and turns.

This study investigates the role of leg campaniform sensilla in Drosophila melanogaster walking by analyzing their impact on motor control and behavior through optogenetic inhibition and imaging.

The paper investigates how nutritional state modulates insulin-producing cells (IPCs) in Drosophila, showing that IPC activity is influenced by starvation, refeeding with nutritive sugars, and interactions with other neurons.

This study develops a 3D leg model for Drosophila melanogaster using anatomical landmarks to analyze joint kinematics during walking, revealing differences in joint motion and the benefits of natural rotational axis alignment.

The paper identifies two specific neurons controlled by descending neurons that mediate distinct changes in leg muscle activity during backward walking in Drosophila.

This study identifies two distinct neuronal pathways in Drosophila that drive different forward walking behaviors: one for object-directed steering and one for fast straight walking.
