Re-evaluating circuit mechanisms underlying pattern separation

NA Cayco-Gajic, RA Silver - Neuron, 2019 - cell.com
When animals interact with complex environments, their neural circuits must separate
overlapping patterns of activity that represent sensory and motor information. Pattern …

Magnitude knowledge: The common core of numerical development

RS Siegler - Developmental science, 2016 - Wiley Online Library
The integrated theory of numerical development posits that a central theme of numerical
development from infancy to adulthood is progressive broadening of the types and ranges of …

What insects can tell us about the origins of consciousness

AB Barron, C Klein - … of the National Academy of Sciences, 2016 - National Acad Sciences
How, why, and when consciousness evolved remain hotly debated topics. Addressing these
issues requires considering the distribution of consciousness across the animal …

Complete connectomic reconstruction of olfactory projection neurons in the fly brain

AS Bates, P Schlegel, RJV Roberts, N Drummond… - Current Biology, 2020 - cell.com
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 …

Activity of defined mushroom body output neurons underlies learned olfactory behavior in Drosophila

D Owald, J Felsenberg, CB Talbot, G Das, E Perisse… - Neuron, 2015 - cell.com
During olfactory learning in fruit flies, dopaminergic neurons assign value to odor

learning the magnitudes of individual numbers and learning arithmetic. Numerical …

Neurogenetic dissection of the Drosophila lateral horn reveals major outputs, diverse behavioural functions, and interactions with the mushroom body

MJ Dolan, S Frechter, AS Bates, C Dan, P Huoviala… - Elife, 2019 - elifesciences.org
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 …

Drosophila mushroom bodies integrate hunger and satiety signals to control innate food-seeking behavior

CH Tsao, CC Chen, CH Lin, HY Yang, S Lin - Elife, 2018 - elifesciences.org
The fruit fly can evaluate its energy state and decide whether to pursue food-related cues.
Here, we reveal that the mushroom body (MB) integrates hunger and satiety signals to …

Neural correlates of water reward in thirsty Drosophila

S Lin, D Owald, V Chandra, C Talbot… - Nature …, 2014 - nature.com
Drinking water is innately rewarding to thirsty animals. In addition, the consumed value can
be assigned to behavioral actions and predictive sensory cues by associative learning. Here …
