Sexually dimorphic neurons in the Drosophila whole-brain connectome

The paper identifies and analyzes sexually dimorphic neurons in the Drosophila brain using connectome data to understand their connectivity and functional roles in behavior.

Driver lines for studying associative learning in Drosophila

The paper introduces a new collection of over 800 split-GAL4 and split-LexA drivers for studying associative learning in Drosophila, covering 300 cell types and enabling functional analysis of neural circuits.

A split-GAL4 driver line resource for Drosophila neuron types

The paper describes a collection of split-GAL4 driver lines for targeting specific neuron types in Drosophila, enabling functional and molecular studies.

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.

Neural circuit mechanisms underlying context-specific halting in Drosophila.

This study identifies two distinct neural mechanisms for context-specific halting in Drosophila during feeding and grooming behaviors.

Mating activates neuroendocrine pathways signaling hunger in Drosophila females

This study shows that mating in Drosophila females activates neuroendocrine pathways that increase sugar consumption to meet reproductive energy demands.

A searchable image resource of Drosophila GAL4-driver expression patterns with single neuron resolution

The paper provides a searchable image resource of Drosophila GAL4-driver expression patterns at single neuron resolution to improve cell type identification and split-GAL4 combination prediction.

Cell-surface targeting of fluorophores in Drosophila for rapid neuroanatomy visualization

The paper introduces genetically targeted membrane tethers for rapid in vivo neuronal labeling in Drosophila using fluorescent dyes.

Taste quality and hunger interactions in a feeding sensorimotor circuit

This study identifies a gustatory sensorimotor circuit in Drosophila that integrates taste detection and hunger state to regulate feeding initiation.

Drosophila gustatory projections are segregated by taste modality and connectivity

The paper reconstructs gustatory projections in Drosophila melanogaster brains to show taste modality segregation and synaptic connectivity patterns.

Classification and genetic targeting of cell types in the primary taste and premotor center of the Drosophila brain

The paper generates genetic tools to target 138 SEZ cell types in Drosophila and characterizes their morphology and connectivity.
