This review focuses on neuropeptides and peptide hormones, the largest and most diverse
class of neuroactive substances, known in Drosophila and other animals to play roles in …

Significant progress has been made in understanding the cues involved in the host and
mate seeking behaviors of spotted wing drosophila, Drosophila suzukii (Matsumura). This …

Olfactory systems must detect and discriminate amongst an enormous variety of odorants.
To contend with this challenge, diverse species have converged on a common strategy in …

Drosophila melanogaster has a rich repertoire of innate and learned behaviors. Its 100,000-
neuron brain is a large but tractable target for comprehensive neural circuit mapping. Only …

Mapping neural circuits across defined synapses is essential for understanding brain
function. Here we describe trans-Tango, a technique for anterograde transsynaptic circuit …

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 …

The evolution of animal behaviour is poorly understood,. Despite numerous correlations
between interspecific divergence in behaviour and nervous system structure and function …

Insects thrive in diverse ecological niches in large part because of their highly sophisticated
olfactory systems. Over the last two decades, a major focus in the study of insect olfaction …

Insects, including those which provide vital ecosystems services as well as those which are
devastating pests or disease vectors, locate their resources mainly based on olfaction …
