Flexible behaviors over long timescales are thought to engage recurrent neural networks in
deep brain regions, which are experimentally challenging to study. In insects, recurrent …

Spatial maps in the brain are most accurate when they are linked to external sensory cues.
Here, we show that the compass in the Drosophila brain is linked to the direction of the wind …

The field of behavioral genetics has recently begun to explore the effect of age on social
behaviors. Such studies are particularly important, as certain neuropsychiatric disorders with …

Innate behavioral biases and preferences can vary significantly among individuals of the
same genotype. Though individuality is a fundamental property of behavior, it is not currently …

Miro GTPases control mitochondrial morphology, calcium homeostasis, and regulate
mitochondrial distribution by mediating their attachment to the kinesin and dynein motor …

Highlights•Natural sensory stimuli dynamically change in time.•An insect's sensory system
may reweight the inputs depending on physiological state and the strength of the sensory …

The ellipsoid body (EB) is a major structure of the central complex of the Drosophila
melanogaster brain. Twenty-two subtypes of EB ring neurons have been identified based on …

Individual animals vary in their behaviors. This is true even when they share the same
genotype and were reared in the same environment. Clusters of covarying behaviors …

Recent work in Drosophila has uncovered several neighboring classes of sleep-regulatory
neurons within the central complex. However, the logic of connectivity and network motifs …

Mutations in subunits of the mitochondrial NADH dehydrogenase cause mitochondrial
complex I deficiency, a group of severe neurological diseases that can result in death in …
