• Mushroom body output neurons encode valence and guide memory-based action selection in Drosophila (2014, background): “This observation implies that MBONs are unlikely to function as command neurons to drive a specific motor pattern, as has been observed, for example, in recently identified descending neurons that induce only stereotyped backward walking (Bath et al., 2014; Bidaye et al., 2014).”
• A connectome of the Drosophila central complex reveals network motifs suitable for flexible navigation and context-dependent action selection (2020, background): “This connection is almost exclusively contralateral (Figure 63—figure supplement 1A,B), a suggestion that the MDN could also be involved in asymmetric behaviors.”
