Neural circuits govern the interface between the external environment, internal cues and
outwardly directed behaviours. To process multiple environmental stimuli and integrate …

Precise synaptic connectivity is a prerequisite for the function of neural circuits, yet individual
neurons, taken out of their developmental context, readily form unspecific synapses. How …

The fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster combines surprisingly sophisticated behaviour with a
highly tractable nervous system. A large part of the fly's success as a model organism in …

The ability to discriminate sensory stimuli with overlapping features is thought to arise in
brain structures called expansion layers, where neurons carrying information about sensory …

Complex behaviors depend on the precise developmental specification of neuronal circuits,
but the relationship between genetic programs for neural development, circuit structure, and …

To survive in changing environments, animals need to learn to associate specific sensory
stimuli with positive or negative valence. How do they form stimulus-specific memories to …

The arthropod mushroom body is well-studied as an expansion layer representing olfactory
stimuli and linking them to contingent events. However, 8% of mushroom body Kenyon cells …
