    Cellular Level Analysis of the Locomotor Neural Circuits in Drosophila melanogaster

    To investigate the neural mechanisms of insect locomotion, we aimed to generate genetic reagents to manipulate the specific cell types in the thoracic ganglion of Drosophila melanogaster. By using the split-Gal4 ...

    Structure-Based Neuron Retrieval Across Drosophila Brains

    Comparing local neural structures across large sets of examples is crucial when studying gene functions, and their effect in the Drosophila brain. The current practice of aligning brain volume data to a joint ...

    A Roundabout way of avoiding the midline

    Because we're bilaterally symmetrical, we need to be able to coordinate motor control on both sides of the body. To do this, many neurons in the central nervous system project their axons across the so-called ...

    Raf functions downstream of Rasl in the Sevenless signal transduction pathway

    SPECIFICATION of the R7 cell fate in the develo** Drosophila eye requires activation of the Sevenless (Sev) receptor tyrosine kinase, located on the surface of the R7 precursor cell, by its interaction with the...
