Neurons develop dendritic morphologies that bear cell type-specific features in dendritic
field size and geometry, branch placement and density, and the types and distributions of …

It has long been appreciated that activity sculpts the formation of neuronal circuits in the
mammalian brain. By contrast, in Drosophila it was generally thought that genetically …

Neuropil is a fundamental form of tissue organization within the brain, in which densely
packed neurons synaptically interconnect into precise circuit architecture,. However, the …

Patterns of synaptic connectivity are remarkably precise and complex. Single-cell RNA
sequencing has revealed a vast transcriptional diversity of neurons. Nevertheless, a clear …

Drosophila R7 UV photoreceptors (PRs) are divided into yellow (y) and pale (p) subtypes.
yR7 PRs express the Dpr11 cell surface protein and are presynaptic to Dm8 amacrine …

In the fly optic lobe,∼ 800 highly stereotypical columnar microcircuits are arranged
retinotopically to process visual information. Differences in cellular composition and synaptic …

Sleep-like states have been described in Drosophila and the mechanisms and factors that
generate and define sleep-wake profiles in this model organism are being thoroughly …

During development, neurites and synapses segregate into specific neighborhoods or
layers within nerve bundles. The developmental programs guiding placement of neurites in …

The present work intends to provide a closer look at histamine in Drosophila. This choice is
motivated firstly because Drosophila has proven over the years to be a very simple, but …

The Drosophila visual system has been a great model to study fundamental questions in
neurobiology, such as neural fate specification, axon guidance, circuit formation, and …
