Neuromorphic circuits emulating the bio‐brain functionality via artificial devices have
achieved a substantial scientific leap in the past decade. However, even with the advent of …

Brains contain networks of interconnected neurons and so knowing the network architecture
is essential for understanding brain function. We therefore mapped the synaptic-resolution …

In the last decade, researchers using Drosophila melanogaster have made extraordinary
progress in uncovering the mysteries underlying learning and memory. This progress has …

Making inferences about the computations performed by neuronal circuits from synapse-
level connectivity maps is an emerging opportunity in neuroscience. The mushroom body …

When an animal moves through the world, its brain receives a stream of information about
the body's translational velocity from motor commands and sensory feedback signals. These …

Suppressing sensory arousal is critical for sleep, with deeper sleep requiring stronger
sensory suppression. The mechanisms that enable sleeping animals to largely ignore their …

As connectomics advances, it will become commonplace to know far more about the
structure of a nervous system than about its function. The starting point for many …

Molecular profiles of neurons influence neural development and function but bridging the
gap between genes, circuits, and behavior has been very difficult. Here we used single cell …

In dynamic environments, animals make behavioural decisions on the basis of the innate
valences of sensory cues and information learnt about these cues across multiple …

The mushroom body (MB) is the center for associative learning in insects. In Drosophila,
intersectional split-GAL4 drivers and electron microscopy (EM) connectomes have laid the …
