The paper compares glutamate receptor expression in larval and adult Drosophila muscles, finding differences in subunit composition and extrasynaptic expression of GluCl.

The paper identifies neural circuits in Drosophila that link respiration to flight and hydration, showing how spiracle control is modulated by both locomotion and internal state.

The paper identifies a somatotopic map in the fly leg that guides targeted grooming through a four-layer neural circuit.

This study identifies abdominal multidendritic neurons as the sole somatosensory class driving rapid escape and sustained avoidance in adult Drosophila through thermal nociception.

The paper identifies a neural circuit in Drosophila that suppresses movement-encoding proprioceptive signals during self-generated leg movements.

This study identifies a proprioceptive sensor in Drosophila legs that detects movement limits and mediates sensorimotor reflexes through specific neural connections.

The paper reconstructs and analyzes the female Drosophila ventral nerve cord connectome, identifying neural circuits that coordinate wings and legs during escape takeoff.

The paper analyzes premotor circuits in Drosophila to compare leg and wing motor control networks, finding modular organization and differences in synaptic connectivity.

This study identifies Drosophila CLPs as Imaginal disc growth factors with roles in fertility, viability, epithelial morphogenesis, and CO2 response.

This paper replicates and refutes a claim that dietary supplements induce leg regeneration in Drosophila, finding no evidence of regeneration or regeneration-like structures.

The paper investigates biomechanical and molecular mechanisms underlying proprioceptor diversity in Drosophila legs, identifying a biomechanical basis for joint angle selectivity and a goniotopic map of joint angle.

The paper investigates how proprioceptive signals from Drosophila legs are processed by central circuits, revealing parallel pathways for internal and external mechanosensory feedback.

The paper presents a high-resolution EM dataset of Drosophila ventral nerve cord and develops GridTape for automated EM data collection, revealing a unique feedback pathway in motor control.

This study identifies three Drosophila neuron types that process leg proprioception, revealing how central circuits integrate sensory information to guide motor behavior.
