We explore how flies make rapid evasive turns during flight. Our study on DNp03, a neuron linking visual input to motor output, offers insights into how the fly brain initiates this important behavior.

www.biorxiv.org Sustained activity in a descending neuron is associated with flight saccades in Drosophila Flies perform rapid turns termed saccades to change direction during flight. Evasive turns can be elicited by looming stimuli mimicking an approaching object such as a potential predator. Whereas...
