The paper maps convergence neurons in Drosophila that integrate innate and learned olfactory drives to mediate action selection.

The paper introduces an olfactory pattern generator to systematically study combinatorial receptor codes in Drosophila larvae by on-demand activation of specific olfactory receptor neurons.

The paper investigates how olfactory receptor neurons encode odorant identity and intensity in Drosophila larvae, finding invariances through shared activation functions and power law distributions.

The paper maps the complete wiring diagram of the Drosophila larval antennal lobe, revealing two parallel circuits involving projection neurons and local neurons that process olfactory signals.

The paper uses optogenetics and reverse correlation analysis to study navigation dynamics in Drosophila larvae, finding that linear-nonlinear models accurately predict navigational decisions.
