Connectomic reconstruction of a female Drosophila ventral nerve cord
A deep understanding of how the brain controls behaviour requires map** neural circuits
down to the muscles that they control. Here, we apply automated tools to segment neurons …

Ascending neurons convey behavioral state to integrative sensory and action selection brain regions
Knowing one's own behavioral state has long been theorized as critical for contextualizing
dynamic sensory cues and identifying appropriate future behaviors. Ascending neurons …

Global change in brain state during spontaneous and forced walk in Drosophila is composed of combined activity patterns of different neuron classes
S Aimon, KY Cheng, J Gjorgjieva, ICG Kadow - Elife, 2023 - elifesciences.org
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 …

Transforming descending input into behavior: The organization of premotor circuits in the Drosophila Male Adult Nerve Cord connectome
In most animals, a relatively small number of descending neurons (DNs) connect higher
brain centers in the animal's head to circuits and motor neurons (MNs) in the nerve cord of …

[HTML][HTML] Biomechanical origins of proprioceptor feature selectivity and topographic maps in the Drosophila leg
Our ability to sense and move our bodies relies on proprioceptors, sensory neurons that
detect mechanical forces within the body. Different subtypes of proprioceptors detect …

Systematic annotation of a complete adult male Drosophila nerve cord connectome reveals principles of functional organisation
EC Marin, BJ Morris, T Stürner, AS Champion… - BioRxiv, 2023 - biorxiv.org
Our companion paper introduces the first completely proofread connectome of the nerve
cord of an animal that can walk or fly. The base connectome consists of neuronal …
