Abstract: Mouth mechanoreception wires two distinct central motor circuits to facilitate and terminate Drosophila feeding. Mechanoreception detects physical forces in the senses of hearing, touch, and proprioception. Here, we show that labellar mechanoreception wires two motor… read more here.

Abstract: Neuromodulators promote adaptive behaviors that are often complex and involve concerted activity changes across circuits that are often not physically connected. It is not well understood how neuromodulatory systems accomplish these tasks. Here, we show… read more here.
