Animal behavior is shaped by a variety of" internal states"—partially hidden variables that
profoundly shape perception, cognition, and action. The neural basis of internal states, such …

Among the many wonders of nature, the sense of smell of the fly Drosophila melanogaster
might seem, at first glance, of esoteric interest. Nevertheless, for over a century, the 'nose'of …

Making inferences about the computations performed by neuronal circuits from synapse-
level connectivity maps is an emerging opportunity in neuroscience. The mushroom body …

Dopamine plays a central role in motivating and modifying behavior, serving to invigorate
current behavioral performance and guide future actions through learning. Here we examine …

Nervous systems contain sensory neurons, local neurons, projection neurons, and motor
neurons. To understand how these building blocks form whole circuits, we must distil these …

The hemibrain connectome provides large-scale connectivity and morphology information
for the majority of the central brain of Drosophila melanogaster. Using this data set, we …

Movement-correlated brain activity has been found across species and brain regions. Here,
we used fast whole brain lightfield imaging in adult Drosophila to investigate the relationship …

Resource-seeking behaviours are ordinarily constrained by physiological needs and threats
of danger, and the loss of these controls is associated with pathological reward seeking …

To navigate towards a food source, animals frequently combine odor cues about source
identity with wind direction cues about source location. Where and how these two cues are …

High-resolution electron microscopy of nervous systems has enabled the reconstruction of
synaptic connectomes. However, we do not know the synaptic sign for each connection (ie …
