The paper identifies a neural circuit in Drosophila that recognizes parasitoid wasps through visual features and drives defensive behaviors based on the wasp's position.

This study identifies a TrpA channel-dependent mechanosensory pathway in Drosophila legs that mediates substrate stiffness sensing during oviposition.

The paper characterizes the structure of egg-laying behavior in Drosophila, showing that sensory feedback from internal neurons governs transitions between behavioral actions.
