This paper introduces light beads microscopy (LBM) to enable high-speed volumetric imaging of Drosophila brains, revealing fast neural responses to auditory stimuli.

The paper shows that male Drosophila adjust their innate courtship strategy based on altered social feedback using optogenetics.

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 profiles the transcriptomes of Drosophila male-specific P1 neurons in socially paired versus solitary males, identifying gene expression changes linked to courtship behavior and immune system interactions.

This paper introduces PAWS, a machine-vision tool for automated pain measurement in mice, showing it can distinguish painful from non-painful stimuli and quantify pain severity.

The paper identifies shared and distinct evolutionary solutions for chemosensory processing and courtship inhibition in two Drosophila species.
