[HTML][HTML] The neural substrate of spectral preference in Drosophila
Drosophila vision is mediated by inputs from three types of photoreceptor neurons; R1–R6
mediate achromatic motion detection, while R7 and R8 constitute two chromatic channels. …

[HTML][HTML] The Role of Dopamine in Drosophila Larval Classical Olfactory Conditioning
Learning and memory is not an attribute of higher animals. Even Drosophila larvae are able
to form and recall an association of a given odor with an aversive or appetitive gustatory …

Recurrent architecture for adaptive regulation of learning in the insect brain
Dopaminergic neurons (DANs) drive learning across the animal kingdom, but the upstream
circuits that regulate their activity and thereby learning remain poorly understood. We …

[HTML][HTML] Functional architecture of reward learning in mushroom body extrinsic neurons of larval Drosophila
The brain adaptively integrates present sensory input, past experience, and options for future
action. The insect mushroom body exemplifies how a central brain structure brings about …

[PDF][PDF] Four individually identified paired dopamine neurons signal reward in larval Drosophila
…, H Tanimoto, T Saumweber, B Gerber, AS Thum - Current Biology, 2016 - cell.com

The Role of octopamine and tyramine in Drosophila larval locomotion
…, B El Jundi, RF Stocker, AS Thum - Journal of …, 2012 - Wiley Online Library
The characteristic crawling behavior of Drosophila larvae consists of a series of rhythmic
waves of peristalsis and episodes of head swinging and turning. The two biogenic amines …

Distinct roles for two histamine receptors (hclA and hclB) at the Drosophila photoreceptor synapse
Histamine (HA) is the photoreceptor neurotransmitter in arthropods, directly gating chloride
channels on large monopolar cells (LMCs), postsynaptic to photoreceptors in the lamina. …
