Inhibitory Circuits Control Drosophila Grooming Movements
Understanding the Gating of Drosophila Grooming Drosophila grooming is a finely tuned set of behaviors that allows a tiny insect to clean its body and antennae. At its core lies a neural system capable of translating sensory inputs into precise leg movements. Recent work highlights the crucial role of inhibitory circuits in shaping when and…

Inhibitory Circuits Orchestrate Drosophila Grooming Movements
Introduction: The precise choreography of Drosophila grooming Grooming in fruit flies may seem trivial, but it is a finely tuned motor program essential for sensory hygiene and health. Recent advances in neurobiology have illuminated how inhibitory circuits sculpt the leg movements that underlie grooming behavior in Drosophila. By examining how neural lineages and interneurons coordinate…
