Whole-body 3D kinematics of freely behaving Drosophila

Seven high-speed cameras, a hybrid 2D/3D network and body-model inverse kinematics track 50 keypoints on freely moving flies; height and speed peak together at all running speeds.

RubyACRs Enable Red-Shifted Optogenetic Inhibition in Freely Behaving Drosophila

This study evaluates RubyACRs as red-shifted optogenetic inhibitors in Drosophila, showing they effectively hyperpolarize neurons and induce circuit-specific behavioral changes.

Nested neural circuits generate distinct acoustic signals during Drosophila courtship

The paper maps neuronal circuits in Drosophila that generate distinct courtship songs and shows they are organized into nested feed-forward pathways.

Combinatorial circuit dynamics orchestrate flexible motor patterns in Drosophila

This study identifies how combinatorial activation of descending pathways in Drosophila generates flexible motor patterns during courtship behavior.
