A Scent of Direction: Exploring Adaptive Olfactory Navigation in Drosophila
… complex and often dynamic landscapes. While olfactory navigation has traditionally been modeled as a reflexive behavior driven by immediate sensory cues, whether flies can leverage more sophisticated strategies, integrating sensory input with spatial memory and internal representations of …

Dopaminergic Modulation Shapes Sensorimotor Processing in the Drosophila Mushroom Body
… is a prominent neural structure essential for olfactory learning. Dopaminergic neurons convey salient information about reward and punishment to the mushroom body in order to adjust synaptic connectivity between Kenyon cells, the neurons representing olfactory stimuli, and the mushroom body …

Neural Sequences Underlying Directed Turning in C. elegans
Complex behaviors like navigation rely on sequenced motor outputs that combine to generate effective movement. The brain-wide organization of the circuits that integrate sensory signals to select and execute appropriate motor sequences is not well understood. Here, we characterize the architecture …

Representations of Reward and Movement in Drosophila Dopaminergic Neurons
… that play an essential role in the formation of olfactory associations. While dopaminergic neurons respond to reward and punishment to drive associative learning, they have also been implicated in a number of adaptive behaviors and their activity correlates with the behavioral state of an animal …
