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.

BIFROST registers diverse Drosophila brain imaging datasets into a common anatomical space, enabling cross-experiment and cross-modality comparisons with sub-10 micron precision.

The paper investigates how a single neural pathway in Drosophila generates context-dependent song sequences by switching between two regimes based on sensory input.

The paper maps the auditory pathway in Drosophila, identifies new cell types, and reveals a network of neurons with continuous song mode preferences and non-hierarchical connectivity.

This study identifies pC1-Alpha neurons in Drosophila females that drive persistent behaviors through recurrent neural connectivity.

The paper uses volumetric neural imaging to study auditory activity across the entire central brain of Drosophila, finding widespread and modality-general responses tuned to courtship song.

The paper identifies a new song mode in Drosophila, revealing how sensory feedback and neural activity influence song production and perception.
