Neural Coding of Leg Proprioception in Drosophila
Integrative neuromechanics of crawling in D. melanogaster larvae
TLDR
A minimal integrative mathematical model is constructed for crawling in Drosophila melanogaster larvae that couples the excitation-inhibition circuits in the nervous system to force production in the muscles and body movement in a frictional environment, thence linking neural dynamics to body mechanics via sensory feedback in a heterogeneous environment.
Functional architecture of neural circuits for leg proprioception in Drosophila
A size principle for recruitment of Drosophila leg motor neurons
TLDR
This work uses in vivo calcium imaging, electrophysiology, and behavior to understand how genetically-identified motor neurons control flexion of the fruit fly tibia and reveals the functional organization of the fly leg motor system.
Mechanosensation and Adaptive Motor Control in Insects
Regulation of forward and backward locomotion through intersegmental feedback circuits in Drosophila larvae
TLDR
In Drosophila larvae a pair of higher-order feedback neurons temporally regulates the intersegmental coordination of contraction of synergistic muscles enabling bidirectional movement, which shows how bid Directional motor networks could be economically embedded in the nervous system.
Imaging fictive locomotor patterns in larval Drosophila
TLDR
Bilateral asymmetry of activity was reduced when the brain was removed and abolished when the SOG was removed, and paves the way to studying the neural and genetic underpinnings of segmentally coordinated motor pattern generation in Drosophila with imaging techniques.
Recovery of locomotion after injury in Drosophila melanogaster depends on proprioception
TLDR
It is suggested that proprioceptive input from the intact limbs plays a crucial role in the behavioral plasticity associated with locomotor recovery after injury, and a minimal mathematical model that links neurodynamics to body mechanics during walking shows that redistributing leg forces between the right and left side enables recovery.
