The paper identifies a predictive motor circuit in Drosophila that uses divergent cotransmission to modulate auditory processing during different behaviors.

The paper presents the first densely reconstructed adult fruit fly connectome integrating the brain and ventral nerve cord, revealing distributed control circuits involving local and long-range neural connections.

The paper identifies two pairs of ascending histaminergic neurons that provide predictive motor signals to non-overlapping sensory and motor networks in flies.

The paper compares weighted spike distance metrics to other methods for analyzing sensory neuron population responses and finds that the proposed WED method performs as well or better than neural networks and outperforms traditional spike distance metrics.
