Six-legged walking in insects: how CPGs, peripheral feedback, and descending signals generate coordinated and adaptive motor rhythms
SS Bidaye, T Bockemühl… - Journal of …, 2018 - journals.physiology.org
Walking is a rhythmic locomotor behavior of legged animals, and its underlying mechanisms

The functional organization of descending sensory-motor pathways in Drosophila
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 …

The spatial and temporal structure of neural activity across the fly brain
What are the spatial and temporal scales of brainwide neuronal activity? We used swept,
confocally-aligned planar excitation (SCAPE) microscopy to image all cells in a large …

Transforming descending input into behavior: The organization of premotor circuits in the Drosophila Male Adult Nerve Cord connectome
In most animals, a relatively small number of descending neurons (DNs) connect higher
brain centers in the animal's head to circuits and motor neurons (MNs) in the nerve cord of …

Neurogenetic dissection of the Drosophila lateral horn reveals major outputs, diverse behavioural functions, and interactions with the mushroom body
Animals exhibit innate behaviours to a variety of sensory stimuli including olfactory cues. In
Drosophila, one higher olfactory centre, the lateral horn (LH), is implicated in innate …
