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 …

Sensing olfactory signals in the environment represents a crucial and significant task of
sensory systems in almost all organisms to facilitate survival and reproduction. Notably, the …

This paper expands on prior work by using whole-brain calcium imaging in Drosophila to
examine how spontaneous and forced walking and turning affect neural activity in the brain …

Inter-individual differences in behavioral responses, anatomy or functional properties of
neuronal populations of animals having the same genotype were for a long time …

The coincidence between conditioned stimulus (CS) and unconditioned stimulus (US) is
essential for associative learning; however, the mechanism regulating the duration of this …

Chemical neurotransmission occurs at specialized contacts where neurotransmitter release
machinery apposes neurotransmitter receptors to underlie circuit function. A series of …

The transcriptional effects of SSRIs and other serotonergic drugs remain unclear, in part due
to the heterogeneity of postsynaptic cells, which may respond differently to changes in …

Animals communicate using sounds in a wide range of contexts, and auditory systems must
encode behaviorally relevant acoustic features to drive appropriate reactions. How feature …

A goal of modern neuroscience involves understanding how connections in the brain form
and function. Such a knowledge is essential to inform how defects in the exquisite …
