This study investigates how mechanosensory feedback from legs coordinates the transition from flight to landing in fruit flies, showing that leg contact triggers specific behavioral and neural responses.

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

This study updates a meta-analysis showing active learning improves STEM student exam scores by 0.519 standard deviations, with higher intensity and varied types showing more effectiveness.

The paper identifies distinct neural circuits in Drosophila for proprioceptive and exteroceptive sensing of the leg using connectomics.

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.

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.
