Driver lines for studying associative learning in Drosophila

|
By Yichun Shuai, Megan Sammons, Gabriella R. Sterne, Karen Hibbard
| eLife
eLife Assessment This important collection of over 800 new cell type-specific driver lines will be an invaluable resource for researchers studying associative learning in Drosophila. Thoroughly characterized and well documented, this collection will permit researchers to selectively target neurons that deliver information to, or receive it from, the memory center of the fly brain called the Mushroom Body.

Steering From the Rear: Coordination of Central Pattern Generators Underlying Navigation by Ascending Interneurons

By Julius Jonaitis, Karen Hibbard, Atsuki Hiramoto, Kaity McCafferty Layte
| BioRxiv
Abstract Understanding how animals coordinate movements to achieve goals is a fundamental pursuit in neuroscience. Here we explore how neurons that reside in posterior lower-order regions of a locomotor system and project to anterior higher-order regions influence steering and navigation. We characterized the anatomy and functional role of a population of ascending interneurons in the ventral nerve cord of Drosophila larvae.

| Nature Verified
Abstract Motor neurons are the final common pathway1 through which the brain controls movement of the body, forming the basic elements from which all movement is composed. Yet how a single motor neuron contributes to control during natural movement remains unclear. Here we anatomically and functionally characterize the individual roles of the motor neurons that control head movement in the fly, Drosophila melanogaster.
