Communication by substrate-borne mechanical waves is widespread in insects. The
specifics of vibrational communication are related to heterogeneous natural substrates that …

Discussions of the function of early nervous systems usually focus on a causal flow from
sensors to effectors, by which an animal coordinates its actions with exogenous changes in …

Employing the clear, student-friendly style that made previous editions so popular, Insect
Physiology and Biochemistry, Fourth Edition presents an engaging and authoritative guide …

Quantifying movement is critical for understanding animal behavior. Advances in computer
vision now enable markerless tracking from 2D video, but most animals move in 3D. Here …

To investigate circuit mechanisms underlying locomotor behavior, we used serial-section
electron microscopy (EM) to acquire a synapse-resolution dataset containing the ventral …

Knowing one's own behavioral state has long been theorized as critical for contextualizing
dynamic sensory cues and identifying appropriate future behaviors. Ascending neurons …

1416-Pos Modulation of Human Stem Cell Derived Neuron Activity through Addition of an
External Conductance using Dynamic Clamp Brian K. Panama1, Leigh Korbel1, Brandon …

The Drosophila ventral nerve cord (VNC) receives and processes descending signals from
the brain to produce a variety of coordinated locomotor outputs. It also integrates sensory …

Movement-correlated brain activity has been found across species and brain regions. Here,
we used fast whole brain lightfield imaging in adult Drosophila to investigate the relationship …

Walking is a complex motor programme involving coordinated and distributed activity across
the brain and the spinal cord. Halting appropriately at the correct time is a critical component …
