Mechanics of soft-body rolling motion without external torque Open
The Drosophila larva, a soft-body animal, can bend its body and roll efficiently to escape danger. However, contrary to common belief, this rolling motion is not driven by the imbalance of gravity and ground reaction forces. Through functi…

Circuits for integrating learned and innate valences in the insect brain. Open
Animal behavior is shaped both by evolution and by individual experience. Parallel brain pathways encode innate and learned valences of cues, but the way in which they are integrated during action-selection is not well understood. We used …

Circuits for integrating learnt and innate valences in the fly brain Open
Animal behavior is shaped both by evolution and by individual experience. In many species parallel brain pathways are thought to encode innate and learnt behavior drives and as a result may link the same sensory cue to different actions if…

Escape band in <i>Escherichia coli</i> chemotaxis in opposing attractant and nutrient gradients Open
Significance Not all nutrient molecules act as attractant signals, and not all attractants are good nutrients. Here, we study behaviors of bacterial cells in an environment with competing sources: One has a strong attractant but a poor nut…

Barrier Crossing in <i>Escherichia coli</i> Chemotaxis Open
We study cell navigation in spatiotemporally complex environments by developing a microfluidic racetrack device that creates a traveling wave with multiple peaks and a tunable wave speed. We find that while the population-averaged chemotax…

The wiring diagram of a glomerular olfactory system Open
The sense of smell enables animals to react to long-distance cues according to learned and innate valences. Here, we have mapped with electron microscopy the complete wiring diagram of the Drosophila larval antennal lobe, an olfactory neur…

Reverse-correlation analysis of navigation dynamics in Drosophila larva using optogenetics Open
Neural circuits for behavior transform sensory inputs into motor outputs in patterns with strategic value. Determining how neurons along a sensorimotor circuit contribute to this transformation is central to understanding behavior. To do t…
