A visual motion detection circuit suggested by Drosophila connectomics
- S. Takemura, A. Bharioke, +21 authors D. Chklovskii
- Biology, Medicine
- Nature
- 7 August 2013
Animal behaviour arises from computations in neuronal circuits, but our understanding of these computations has been frustrated by the lack of detailed synaptic connection maps, or connectomes. For… Expand
The Neural Substrate of Spectral Preference in Drosophila
- Shuying Gao, S. Takemura, +12 authors Cynthia R. Lee
- Biology, Medicine
- Neuron
- 23 October 2008
Drosophila vision is mediated by inputs from three types of photoreceptor neurons; R1-R6 mediate achromatic motion detection, while R7 and R8 constitute two chromatic channels. Neural circuits for… Expand
A connectome of a learning and memory center in the adult Drosophila brain
- S. Takemura, Y. Aso, +25 authors Louis K. Scheffer
- Biology, Medicine
- eLife
- 18 July 2017
Understanding memory formation, storage and retrieval requires knowledge of the underlying neuronal circuits. In Drosophila, the mushroom body (MB) is the major site of associative learning. We… Expand
The comprehensive connectome of a neural substrate for ‘ON’ motion detection in Drosophila
- S. Takemura, Aljoscha Nern, D. Chklovskii, Louis K. Scheffer, G. Rubin, I. Meinertzhagen
- Computer Science, Medicine
- eLife

Synaptic circuits of the Drosophila optic lobe: The input terminals to the medulla
- S. Takemura, Z. Lu, I. Meinertzhagen
- Biology, Medicine
- The Journal of comparative neurology
- 10 August 2008
Understanding the visual pathways of the fly's compound eye has been blocked for decades at the second optic neuropil, the medulla, a two‐part relay comprising 10 strata (M1–M10), and the largest… Expand
Synaptic circuits and their variations within different columns in the visual system of Drosophila
- S. Takemura, C. S. Xu, +26 authors Louis K. Scheffer
- Biology, Medicine
- Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences
- 19 October 2015
Significance Circuit diagrams of brains are generally reported only as absolute or consensus networks; these diagrams fail to identify the accuracy of connections, however, for which multiple… Expand
Cholinergic Circuits Integrate Neighboring Visual Signals in a Drosophila Motion Detection Pathway
- S. Takemura, T. Karuppudurai, Chun-Yuan Ting, Z. Lu, Cynthia R. Lee, I. Meinertzhagen
- Biology, Medicine
- Current Biology
- 20 December 2011
Detecting motion is a feature of all advanced visual systems [1], nowhere more so than in flying animals, like insects [2, 3]. In flies, an influential autocorrelation model for motion detection, the… Expand
Ig Superfamily Ligand and Receptor Pairs Expressed in Synaptic Partners in Drosophila
- L. Tan, K. Zhang, +12 authors S. Zipursky
- Biology, Medicine
- Cell
- 17 December 2015
Information processing relies on precise patterns of synapses between neurons. The cellular recognition mechanisms regulating this specificity are poorly understood. In the medulla of the Drosophila… Expand
Wiring Economy and Volume Exclusion Determine Neuronal Placement in the Drosophila Brain
- M. Rivera-Alba, S. Vitaladevuni, +6 authors G. D. Polavieja
- Current Biology
- 2011
Wiring economy has successfully explained the individual placement of neurons in simple nervous systems like that of Caenorhabditis elegans [1–3] and the locations of coarser structures like cortical… Expand
A Connectome of the Adult Drosophila Central Brain
- C. Xu, Michał Januszewski, +102 authors Stephen M. Plaza
- Biology, Computer Science
- 21 January 2020
The neural circuits responsible for behavior remain largely unknown. Previous efforts have reconstructed the complete circuits of small animals, with hundreds of neurons, and selected circuits for… Expand
