Force sensing and control are of paramount importance in robotic micromanipulation. A contact force regulator capable of accurately applying mechanical stimuli to a live Drosophila larva could greatly ...

In a third possible response, the larva releases silk from their labial glands toward the predator during the artificial attack (Fig. 2A). The larva positioned itself with a lifted thorax and loose ...

This is a valuable and rigorous study that addresses the question of what determines the spatial organization of endocytic zones at synapses. The authors use compelling approaches, in both Drosophila ...

The increase of protein in the diets had a positive effect on the dimensions of the larvae, such as cephalopharyngeal skeleton (EC) and body size (G) (Table 4). Both the EC (F 3,111 =93.15, P<0.01, ...

In this paper Weber et al. investigate the role of 4 dopaminergic neurons of the Drosophila larva in mediating the association between an aversive high-salt stimulus and a neutral odor. The 4 DANs ...
