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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …

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 sense of smell enables animals to react to long-distance cues according to learned and
innate valences. Here, we have mapped with electron microscopy the complete wiring …

Olfactory glomeruli are morphologically conserved spherical compartments of the olfactory
system, distinguishable solely by their chemosensory repertoire, anatomical position, and …

Recognition of environmental cues is essential for the survival of all organisms.
Transcriptional changes occur to enable the generation and function of the neural circuits …

Neural network function can be shaped by varying the strength of synaptic connections. One
way to achieve this is to vary connection structure. To investigate how structural variation …

Visual systems transduce, process and transmit light-dependent environmental cues.
Computation of visual features depends on photoreceptor neuron types (PR) present …
