Highlights•Technical advances are producing bigger and denser Drosophila melanogaster
connectomes.•Mapping connectomics to other data types is a challenging but crucial …

Highlights•Wind, location, size, and number of odor sources shape temporal odor
patterns.•Insects can detect fine-scale temporal odor patterns and integrate them over …

Chemosensory cells across the body of Drosophila melanogaster evaluate the environment
to prioritize certain behaviors. Previous mapping of gustatory receptor neurons (GRNs) on …

Using odors to find food and mates is one of the most ancient and highly conserved
behaviors. Arthropods from flies to moths to crabs use broadly similar strategies to navigate …

Behavioral sex differences primarily derive from the sexually dimorphic organization of
neural circuits that direct the behavior. In Drosophila melanogaster, the sex-determination …

Female sexual receptivity is essential for reproduction of a species. Neuropeptides play the
main role in regulating female receptivity. However, whether neuropeptides regulate female …

Salt (NaCl), is an essential nutrient for survival, while excessive salt can be detrimental. In
the fruit fly, Drosophila melanogaster, internal taste organs in the pharynx are critical …

A fundamental question in sensory processing is how different channels of sensory input are
processed to regulate behavior. Different input channels may converge onto common …

Discovering the principles underlying the neural and biomechanical control of animal
behavior requires a tight dialogue between real experiments and data-driven …

Males of many species have evolved behavioral traits to both attract females and repel
rivals. Here, we explore mate selection in Drosophila from both the male and female …
