The paper identifies serial homology between neuronal populations in the Drosophila melanogaster brain and ventral nerve cord using lineage reporters, single-cell transcriptomics, and a connectome.

The paper presents the complete connectome of the Drosophila male central nervous system and compares it to the female connectome, identifying sex-specific and dimorphic neuronal types.

This paper maps the complete Drosophila male gustatory system connectome, revealing GRN diversity and sensory-to-motor pathways for feeding and social behaviors.

The paper provides a connectomic description of ascending and descending neurons in the Drosophila nervous system, revealing sexual dimorphism and motor-related circuits.

Roughly 23 thousand traced neurons and 10 million TBars of the male Drosophila nerve cord, reconstructed from electron microscopy, typed, and queryable in neuPrint down to motor neurons.

The paper systematically annotates a complete adult male Drosophila nerve cord connectome, identifying neuron types, connectivity patterns, and sensory modalities to reveal organizational principles.

The paper shows that Drosophila uses separate neural pathways to process spatial and qualitative information from the pheromone cVA, enabling context-dependent mating behaviors.
