The paper identifies an excitatory-inhibitory neural motif in Drosophila larvae that generates rhythmic locomotion through connectomic and simulation analyses.

The paper identifies a neural circuit and molecular mechanism in Drosophila larvae that links internal osmotic state to behavioral adaptation through GPCR signaling.

The paper identifies A02l neurons in Drosophila larvae that use tonic inhibition to regulate crawling behavior by maintaining muscle relaxation and controlling motor output.

This study identifies synaptic domains in Drosophila larvae that show distinct recruitment orders during forward and backward locomotion, suggesting they coordinate motor programs.

This study identifies a neural circuit in Drosophila larvae that controls locomotion speed by synchronizing muscle contractions across segments.

The paper introduces a method to decompose neuropil calcium imaging data into bouton-like structures and finds the resulting network is scale-free.

The paper develops a neuromechanical model for Drosophila larval crawling using physical measurements, showing it can reproduce locomotion kinematics and predict intersegmental connections' role.

This study analyzes larval locomotion kinematics across 11 Drosophila species and finds that kinematic diversity correlates with habitat temperature rather than body size.

This study identifies Canon neurons in Drosophila larvae that regulate coordinated muscular relaxation during backward locomotion through an intersegmental circuit.

The paper validates four Drosophila premotor interneuron driver lines using electrophysiology, confirming their monosynaptic connection to the aCC motoneuron.

The paper analyzes motor-related neural activity in larval Drosophila during fictive locomotion, identifying neurons biased toward forward or backward movement.

The paper develops a method to classify neural activity in Drosophila larvae and identifies 5-HT2A neurons involved in backward locomotion.
