Highlights•Deep neural networks are shattering performance benchmarks in computer
vision for various tasks.•Using modern deep learning approaches (DNNs) in the lab is a …

Vision is critical for the control of locomotion, but the underlying neural mechanisms by
which visuomotor circuits contribute to the movement of the body through space are yet not …

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

Topographic maps, the systematic spatial ordering of neurons by response tuning, are
common across species. In Drosophila, the lobula columnar (LC) neuron types project from …

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 …

To survive, animals must convert sensory information into appropriate behaviours,. Vision is
a common sense for locating ethologically relevant stimuli and guiding motor responses …

Deciphering how the brain regulates motor circuits to control complex behaviors is an
important, long-standing challenge in neuroscience. In the fly, Drosophila melanogaster, this …

Locomotion involves rhythmic limb movement patterns that originate in circuits outside the
brain. Purposeful locomotion requires descending commands from the brain, but we do not …

Neural circuits carry out complex computations that allow animals to evaluate food, select
mates, move toward attractive stimuli, and move away from threats. In insects, the …
