Whole-body 3D kinematics of freely behaving Drosophila

Juan Ignacio Ispizua, Elliott T. T. Abe, Jinyao Yan…·Robert Evan Johnson

Seven high-speed cameras, a hybrid 2D/3D network and body-model inverse kinematics track 50 keypoints on freely moving flies; height and speed peak together at all running speeds.

Comparative single-cell transcriptomics of complete insect nervous systems

Ben Cocanougher, Jason D. Wittenbach, Xi Long…·Marta Zlatic

The paper creates a comprehensive atlas of the Drosophila larval nervous system using single-cell transcriptomics and validates findings with RNA-FISH, revealing gene expression changes linked to behavioral states.
