The neural circuits responsible for animal behavior remain largely unknown. We summarize
new methods and present the circuitry of a large fraction of the brain of the fruit fly …

The neural circuits responsible for behavior remain largely unknown. Previous efforts have
reconstructed the complete circuits of small animals, with hundreds of neurons, and selected …

Touch perception begins with activation of low-threshold mechanoreceptors (LTMRs) in the
periphery. LTMR terminals exhibit tremendous morphological heterogeneity that specifies …

INTRODUCTION Meissner corpuscles are mechanosensory end organs that densely occupy
mammalian glabrous skin. The basic anatomy of the Meissner corpuscle and the Aβ (large …

Due to advances in electron microscopy and deep learning, it is now practical to reconstruct
a connectome, a description of neurons and the chemical synapses between them, for …

Due to technological advances in electron microscopy (EM) and deep learning, it is now
practical to reconstruct a connectome, a description of neurons and the connections between …

The sensation of movement and position of the limbs is critical for normal behaviours in
tetrapods. In the bony fishes it is unclear what proprioceptive feedback is provided from the …

Tactile perception involves a diverse cadre of receptor types that extract distinct but often
overlapping features of mechanical forces impinging on the skin. The stimulus features that a …

The tectorial membrane (TM) is thought to play a critical role in stimulating cochlear hair cells.
Recently, it has been shown that the tectorial membrane supports traveling waves [14] and …

… Chapter 2: I thank Nicole Neubarth and Ru Yi Teow for their contributions to animal care,
Matt Green and Lauren Sallan for discussion and comments on the manuscript, Joanna Rowell …
