The neural circuit mechanisms underlying emotion states remain poorly understood. Drosophila
offers powerful genetic approaches for dissecting neural circuit function, but whether …

To navigate complex environments, animals must generate highly robust, yet flexible,
locomotor behaviors. For example, walking speed must be tailored to the needs of a particular …

When threatened by dangerous or harmful stimuli, animals engage in diverse forms of rapid
escape behaviors. In Drosophila larvae, one type of escape response involves C-shaped …

The brain can generate actions, such as reaching to a target, using different movement
strategies. We investigate how such strategies are learned in a task where perched head-fixed …

Animals rely on visual motion for navigating the world, and research in flies has clarified how
neural circuits extract information from moving visual scenes. However, the major pathways …

The brain can learn to generate actions, such as reaching to a target, using different movement
strategies. Understanding how different variables bias which strategies are learned to …

Despite the development of effective vaccines against SARS-CoV-2, epidemiological control
of the virus is still challenging due to slow vaccine rollouts, incomplete vaccine protection to …

Cryo-electron tomography (cryo-ET) is a powerful modality for resolving cellular structures
in their native state. While single-particle cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) excels in …

Despite the development of effective vaccines against SARS-CoV-2, epidemiological control
of the virus is still challenging due to slow vaccine rollouts, incomplete vaccine protection to …

The visual system of the fly is a highly stereotyped network of neurons that transforms external
luminance signals into electrical potentials that can be processed by the nervous system. I …
