The idea of using species-specific behavior-modifying chemicals for the management of
noxious insects in agriculture, horticulture, forestry, stored products, and for insect vectors of …

Remarkable advances in our understanding of olfactory perception have been made in
recent years, including the discovery of new mechanisms of olfactory signaling and new …

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 …

Knowing one's own behavioral state has long been theorized as critical for contextualizing
dynamic sensory cues and identifying appropriate future behaviors. Ascending neurons …

Animals discriminate stimuli, learn their predictive value and use this knowledge to modify
their behavior. In Drosophila, the mushroom body (MB) plays a key role in these processes …

In most animals, the brain controls the body via a set of descending neurons (DNs) that
traverse the neck. DN activity activates, maintains or modulates locomotion and other …

In order to localize the neural circuits involved in generating behaviors, it is necessary to
assign activity onto anatomical maps of the nervous system. Using brain registration across …

We established a collection of 7,000 transgenic lines of Drosophila melanogaster.
Expression of GAL4 in each line is controlled by a different, defined fragment of genomic …

Despite the importance of the insect nervous system for functional and developmental
neuroscience, descriptions of insect brains have suffered from a lack of uniform …
