The paper creates a computational model of the Drosophila brain connectome to study sensorimotor processing and validates predictions through experiments.

This study shows that mating in Drosophila females activates neuroendocrine pathways that increase sugar consumption to meet reproductive energy demands.

The paper identifies a neural circuit in Drosophila that modulates sugar and water ingestion through a network of peptidergic neurons.

The paper introduces genetically targeted membrane tethers for rapid in vivo neuronal labeling in Drosophila using fluorescent dyes.

This study identifies a gustatory sensorimotor circuit in Drosophila that integrates taste detection and hunger state to regulate feeding initiation.

The paper reconstructs gustatory projections in Drosophila melanogaster brains to show taste modality segregation and synaptic connectivity patterns.

This study identifies serotonergic neurons in Drosophila that translate taste detection into physiological responses to regulate nutrient availability.

This paper develops a hybrid chemical-genetic voltage reporter for voltage imaging in Drosophila, enabling selective neuron labeling and voltage monitoring in intact tissues.

The paper generates genetic tools to target 138 SEZ cell types in Drosophila and characterizes their morphology and connectivity.

This study identifies two distinct neuronal pathways in Drosophila that drive different forward walking behaviors: one for object-directed steering and one for fast straight walking.

This study identifies specific mushroom body output neurons that inhibit proboscis extension and feeding behavior in Drosophila when activated.
