The paper shows how natural variants in the pumilio gene alter neural circuits in Drosophila to influence oviposition choices by affecting sodium channel expression.

This study shows Drosophila use self-generated olfactory and self-motion cues for spatial learning in feature-poor environments and adapt by prioritizing external landmarks when available.

The paper identifies a somatosensory network in Drosophila larvae that uses neuropeptide action to gate specific escape behaviors based on sensory input type.

SkinnerTrax enables high-throughput, behavior-dependent optogenetic stimulation of Drosophila using simple and inexpensive components.
