A multilayer circuit architecture for the generation of distinct locomotor behaviors in Drosophila
Animals generate diverse motor behaviors, yet how the same motor neurons (MNs)
generate two distinct or antagonistic behaviors remains an open question. Here, we …

A circuit mechanism for the propagation of waves of muscle contraction in Drosophila
Animals move by adaptively coordinating the sequential activation of muscles. The circuit
mechanisms underlying coordinated locomotion are poorly understood. Here, we report on …
