Drosophila is a marvelous system to study the underlying principles that govern how neural
circuits govern behaviors. The scale of the fly brain (∼ 100,000 neurons) and the complexity …

Alpine flowers face multiple challenges in terms of abiotic and biotic factors, some of which
may result in selection for certain colours at increasing altitude, in particular the changing …

Visual motion cues are used by many animals to guide navigation across a wide range of
environments. Long-standing theoretical models have made predictions about the …

During development, cells need to make decisions about their fate in order to ensure that the
correct numbers and types of cells are established at the correct time and place in the …

Visual motion cues provide animals with critical information about their environment and
guide a diverse array of behaviors. The neural circuits that carry out motion estimation …

Drosophila has recently become a powerful model system to understand the mechanisms of
temporal patterning of neural progenitors called neuroblasts (NBs). Two different temporal …

A shared feature of many neural circuits is their organization into synaptic layers. However,
the mechanisms that direct neurites to distinct layers remain poorly understood. We …

Like other sensory systems, the visual system is topographically organized: Its sensory
neurons, the photoreceptors, and their targets maintain point-to-point correspondence in …

The epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and a coreceptor denoted HER2/ERBB2 are
frequently overexpressed or mutated in solid tumors, such as carcinomas and gliomas. In …

The ventral compound eye of many insects contains polarization-sensitive photoreceptors,
but little is known about how they are integrated into visual functions. In female horseflies …
