Originally a genetic model organism, the experimental use of Drosophila melanogaster has
grown to include quantitative behavioral analyses, sophisticated perturbations of neuronal …

Images projected onto the retina of an animal eye are rarely still. Instead, they usually
contain motion signals originating either from moving objects or from retinal slip caused by …

The diversity of cell types and regulatory states in the brain, and how these change during
aging, remains largely unknown. We present a single-cell transcriptome atlas of the entire …

Deciphering how neuronal diversity is established and maintained requires a detailed
knowledge of neuronal gene expression throughout development. In contrast to mammalian …

We describe the development and application of methods for high-throughput
neuroanatomy in Drosophila using light microscopy. These tools enable efficient multicolor …

Super-resolution imaging deep inside tissues has been challenging, as it is extremely
sensitive to light scattering and spherical aberrations. Here, we report an optimized optical …

The brain consists of thousands of neuronal types that are generated by stem cells
producing different neuronal types as they age. In Drosophila, this temporal patterning is …

Analysing computations in neural circuits often uses simplified models because the actual
neuronal implementation is not known. For example, a problem in vision, how the eye …

The algorithms and neural circuits that process spatio-temporal changes in luminance to
extract visual motion cues have been the focus of intense research. An influential model, the …

In the Drosophila optic lobes, the medulla processes visual information coming from inner
photoreceptors R7 and R8 and from lamina neurons. It contains approximately 40,000 …
