Modulatory neurons project widely throughout the brain, dynamically altering network processing based on an animal's physiological state. The connectivity of individual modulatory can be complex, as they often receive input from a variety sources and are diverse in their physiology, structure, gene expression profiles. To establish basic principles about neurons, we examined pair identified "contralaterally projecting, serotonin-immunoreactive deutocerebral neurons" (CSDns), within olfactory...
Serotonergic neurons project widely throughout the brain to modulate diverse physiological and behavioral processes. However, a single-cell resolution understanding of connectivity serotonergic is currently lacking. Using whole-brain EM dataset female <i>Drosophila</i>, we comprehensively determine wiring logic broadly projecting neuron (the CSDn) that spans several olfactory regions. Within antennal lobe, CSDn differentially innervates each glomerulus, yet surprisingly, this variability...
Serotonin plays different roles across networks within the same sensory modality. Previously, we used whole-cell electrophysiology in Drosophila to show that serotonergic neurons innervating first olfactory relay are inhibited by odorants (Zhang and Gaudry, 2016). Here network-spanning segregate information about stimulus features, odor intensity identity, using opposing coding schemes neuropil. A pair of (the CSDns) innervate antennal lobe lateral horn, which second order neuropils. CSDn...

The Modern Pentathlon has not garnered mainstream media coverage until the 2020 Olympics Tokyo. Unfortunately, rise conversation was response reaction poor horsemanship, negative behavior, aggressive coaching. events were profound that they highlighted extreme juxtaposition competitions focus on bonded relationships catch-riding experiences. implications are far reaching with...
Abstract Serotonergic neurons modulate diverse physiological and behavioral processes in a context-dependent manner, based on their complex connectivity. However, connectivity has not been comprehensively explored at single-cell resolution. Using whole-brain EM dataset we determined the wiring logic of broadly projecting serotonergic neuron (the “CSDn”) Drosophila . Within antennal lobe (AL; first-order olfactory region), CSDn receives glomerulus-specific input preferentially targets...
The ability of social insects such as ants to distinguish between nestmates and non-nestmates is odor-based, learned critical the survival colony. However, little known about how brain processes olfactory cues associated with nestmate recognition. Previous studies have shown that inhibition muscarinic acetylcholine receptors a competitive inhibitor, scopolamine affects recognition in honeybees, causing them mistakenly attack nestmates. This suggests may be required for either olfaction...
Abstract All centralized nervous systems possess modulatory neurons that arborize broadly across multiple brain regions. Such are critical for proper sensory, motor, and cognitive processing. How single integrate into circuits within their target destination remains largely unexplored due to difficulties in both labeling individual cells imaging distal parts of the CNS. Here, we take advantage an identified neuron Drosophila arborizes olfactory neuropils. We demonstrate this serotonergic has...
