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 …

When animals interact with complex environments, their neural circuits must separate
overlapping patterns of activity that represent sensory and motor information. Pattern …

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 …

We identified the neurons comprising the Drosophila mushroom body (MB), an associative
center in invertebrate brains, and provide a comprehensive map describing their potential …

Neuroscience research has exploded, with more than fifty thousand neuroscientists applying
increasingly advanced methods. A mountain of new facts and mechanisms has emerged …

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 …

Glia play crucial roles in the development and homeostasis of the nervous system. While the
GLIA in the Drosophila embryo have been well characterized, their study in the adult …

During olfactory learning in fruit flies, dopaminergic neurons assign value to odor
representations in the mushroom body Kenyon cells. Here we identify a class of downstream …

Abstract Ionotropic Receptors (IRs) are a recently characterized family of olfactory receptors
in the fruit fly, Drosophila melanogaster. IRs are not related to insect Odorant Receptors …
