Unsupervised identification of the internal states that shape natural behavior
Internal states shape stimulus responses and decision-making, but we lack methods to
identify them. To address this gap, we developed an unsupervised method to identify …

Neurogenetic dissection of the Drosophila lateral horn reveals major outputs, diverse behavioural functions, and interactions with the mushroom body
Animals exhibit innate behaviours to a variety of sensory stimuli including olfactory cues. In
Drosophila, one higher olfactory centre, the lateral horn (LH), is implicated in innate …

The neural basis for a persistent internal state in Drosophila females
Sustained changes in mood or action require persistent changes in neural activity, but it has
been difficult to identify the neural circuit mechanisms that underlie persistent activity and …
