The paper shows that nociceptive signaling is essential for the brain to represent and replay inflammatory states using human fMRI and mouse activity mapping.

The paper introduces a new collection of over 800 split-GAL4 and split-LexA drivers for studying associative learning in Drosophila, covering 300 cell types and enabling functional analysis of neural circuits.

The paper identifies a neuronal circuit in Drosophila that transforms learned olfactory valences into wind-oriented movement by integrating inputs from memory compartments.

The paper identifies a feedforward circuit between dopamine subsystems in Drosophila that is essential for second-order conditioning, mediated by a key interneuron.

The paper presents a detailed connectome of the adult Drosophila central brain, including new methods for data analysis and biological insights into neural circuit organization.

A dense electron-microscopy reconstruction of half the fly central brain, with nearly every cell typed and queryable online, turns months of tracing partners into a database lookup.
