The paper identifies a mutation that enhances the sensitivity of a fluorescent voltage indicator, improving its ability to detect both spiking and subthreshold voltage signals in multiple organisms.

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

The paper describes engineering eFRET voltage indicators with positive-going fluorescence responses by modifying microbial rhodopsins.

The paper introduces jYCaMP1, a calcium indicator optimized for two-photon imaging at wavelengths above 1000 nm, showing improved performance in mice and flies.

Structure-guided mutagenesis of GCaMP6 plus neuron-based screening yields a jGCaMP7 family, each variant tuned to a different regime: single spikes, neurites and neuropil, or population imaging.

The paper identifies two LH cell-types in Drosophila that are required for aversive memory retrieval and show that memory information is passed from the mushroom body to the lateral horn.

The paper maps descending sensory-motor pathways in Drosophila by creating transgenic lines and analyzing connectivity between brain and ventral nerve cord neuropils.

The paper introduces a smFISH method for single-mRNA detection in cleared Drosophila brains with subcellular resolution using a custom microscope.
