Dynamic Extraction and Tracking of Emitted Cellular Transients resolves low-salience fluorescence events

DETECT improves detection of low-salience fluorescence events by combining background suppression, classification, and tracking, enabling analysis of neuromodulatory activity.

A multisensory, bidirectional, valence encoder guides behavioral decisions

The paper identifies a neuron in Drosophila larvae that bi-directionally encodes valence and guides navigation based on sensory cues.

Circuits for integrating learnt and innate valences in the fly brain

The paper maps convergence neurons in Drosophila that integrate innate and learned olfactory drives to mediate action selection.

Multilevel feedback architecture for adaptive regulation of learning in the insect brain

The paper maps the synaptic connectome of the Drosophila larva mushroom body and identifies feedback pathways that enable modulatory neurons to compute teaching signals for reinforcement learning.

The Complete Connectome Of A Learning And Memory Center In An Insect Brain

The paper reconstructs the complete synaptic connectome of the Drosophila larval mushroom body, revealing novel circuit structures and input integration patterns in Kenyon cells.
