Comparative connectomics of Drosophila descending and ascending neurons

Jasper Taylor Phelps

In most complex nervous systems there is a clear anatomical separation between the nerve cord, which contains most of the final motor outputs necessary for behaviour, and the brain. In insects, the neck connective is both a physical and an information bott ...

Connectomic reconstruction of a female Drosophila ventral nerve cord

Jasper Taylor Phelps

A deep understanding of how the brain controls behaviour requires mapping neural circuits down to the muscles that they control. Here, we apply automated tools to segment neurons and identify synapses in an electron microscopy dataset of an adult female Dr ...

Synaptic architecture of leg and wing premotor control networks in Drosophila

Jasper Taylor Phelps

Animal movement is controlled by motor neurons (MNs), which project out of the central nervous system to activate muscles(1). MN activity is coordinated by complex premotor networks that facilitate the contribution of individual muscles to many different b ...

Biomechanical origins of proprioceptor feature selectivity and topographic maps in the Drosophila leg

Jasper Taylor Phelps

Our ability to sense and move our bodies relies on proprioceptors, sensory neurons that detect mechanical forces within the body. Different subtypes of proprioceptors detect different kinematic features, such as joint position, movement, and vibration, but ...
