Abstract: Simple innate behavior is often described as hard-wired and largely inflexible. Here, we show that the avoidance of hot temperature, a simple innate behavior, contains unexpected plasticity in Drosophila. First, we demonstrate that hot receptor… read more here.

Abstract: Behavioral thermoregulation is a thermoregulatory mechanism using behavioral measures, such as avoidance from cold and hot temperature, but its central circuit mechanism is largely unknown. We have previously reported that the lateral parabrachial nucleus (LPB)… read more here.
