Figure 1. The Drosophila Larval musculature and Representative body muscles — A) Lateral view of a Drosophila 3rd instar larva that carries a muscle specific red fluorescent transgene that highlights ...

In Drosophila, for example, the molting process is regulated by levels of a hormone called ecdysone. This hormone acts as a signal, triggering a cascade of events and leading to changes in gene ...

We study how animal behavior emerges from the complex interaction amongst the animal's nervous systems, their muscle-body dynamics and their environment. We use fruitflies (Drosophila melanogaster) as ...
