Flies represent nearly 10% of all species described by science and are arguably unmatched among flying organisms in their aerial agility. The flight trajectory of flies often consists of crisp straight flight segments interspersed with rapid changes in course called body saccades. Recent advances in genetic tools have made it possible to explore the neurobiological circuitry underlying these two distinct modes of fly flight behavior.

Brain organization and function is a complex topic. We are good at establishing correlates of perception and behavior across forebrain circuits, as well as manipulating activity in these circuits to a

Understanding how brains learn requires bridging evidence across scales—from behaviour and neural circuits to cells, synapses, and molecules. In our work, we use computational modelling and data analy
