[HTML][HTML] Context-dependent control of behavior in Drosophila

TB Oram, GM Card - Current Opinion in Neurobiology, 2022‏ - Elsevier
The representation of contextual information peripheral to a salient stimulus is central to an
animal's ability to correctly interpret and flexibly respond to that stimulus. While the …

Motor neurons generate pose-targeted movements via proprioceptive sculpting

B Gorko, I Siwanowicz, K Close, C Christoforou… - Nature, 2024‏ - nature.com
Motor neurons are the final common pathway through which the brain controls movement of
the body, forming the basic elements from which all movement is composed. Yet how a …

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,

Fine-grained descending control of steering in walking Drosophila

HH Yang, BE Brezovec, LS Capdevila, QX Vanderbeck… - Cell, 2024‏ - cell.com
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 …

[HTML][HTML] Walking strides direct rapid and flexible recruitment of visual circuits for course control in Drosophila

T Fujiwara, M Brotas, ME Chiappe - Neuron, 2022‏ - cell.com
Flexible map** between activity in sensory systems and movement parameters is a
hallmark of motor control. This flexibility depends on the continuous comparison of short …

Visual and motor signatures of locomotion dynamically shape a population code for feature detection in Drosophila

MH Turner, A Krieger, MM Pang, TR Clandinin - Elife, 2022‏ - elifesciences.org
Natural vision is dynamic: as an animal moves, its visual input changes dramatically. How
can the visual system reliably extract local features from an input dominated by self …

Map** the neural dynamics of locomotion across the Drosophila brain

BE Brezovec, AB Berger, YA Hao, F Chen… - Current Biology, 2024‏ - cell.com
