The paper uses a Drosophila connectome to analyze visual pathway organization, revealing multi-layered, functionally interpretable pathways that transform visual input into perceptual representations.

The paper presents the complete connectome of the Drosophila male central nervous system and compares it to the female connectome, identifying sex-specific and dimorphic neuronal types.

The paper compares neuronal circuits for landing and takeoff in Drosophila, revealing parallel ensembles that enable flexible behavioral control.

A FIB-SEM connectome of the male Drosophila right optic lobe sorts ∼53,000 neurons into 727 types, with neurotransmitter predictions and 577 matched split-GAL4 lines.

This study shows that color enhances motion vision in Drosophila by improving detection of approaching UV discs through synergistic pathways between UV-sensitive photoreceptors and motion-sensitive neurons.

The paper shows that homeodomain transcription factors (HDTFs) hierarchically specify neuronal diversity and synaptic connectivity in Drosophila lamina neurons.

The paper identifies a cell type in Drosophila that detects translational optic flow and is essential for forward walking.

The paper shows that the preferred directions of Drosophila DS neurons are shaped by the compound eye's structure, linking peripheral anatomy to neural function and behavior.

The paper investigates how spatial information is processed in a Drosophila glomerulus lacking retinotopy, finding that connectivity preserves spatial readout of visual looming.
