Identifying neural substrates of competitive interactions and sequence transitions during mechanosensory responses in Drosophila

Abstract: Nervous systems have the ability to select appropriate actions and action sequences in response to sensory cues. The circuit mechanisms by which nervous systems achieve choice, stability and transitions between behaviors are still incompletely understood. To identify neurons and brain areas involved in controlling these processes, we combined a large-scale neuronal inactivation screen with automated action detection in response to a mechanosensory cue in Drosophila larva. We analyzed behaviors from 2.9x10 5 la… Show more

“…In addition, the larva has a rich behavioral repertoire, exhibiting a range of distinct actions and sequences [ 6 , 8 , 32 , 33 , 34 , 35 , 36 , 37 , 38 , 39 , 40 , 41 , 42 ] ( Figure 1 iv ) and is capable of robust associative learning [ 16 , 17 , 18 , 43 , 44 , 45 , 46 , 47 , 48 , 49 ]. Automatic tracking of individual larvae and behavioral categorization greatly facilitates relating the structure of larval circuits to their function [ 6 , 8 , 13 , 31 , 32 , 33 , 34 , 35 , 36 , 37 , 39 , 49 , 50 ]. High-throughput behavioral inactivation and activation screens allow identifying neurons promoting or repressing specific actions or computations [ 8 , 33 , 36 , 41 , 50 , 51 ].…”

“…The estimated midline is given by a set of equally spaced points, allowing characterisation of transverse bending but not axial compression/expansion. Larval midlines and contours were used to score bouts of rolling behaviour, as described elsewhere [27]. Larvae that were tracked for fewer than 5 seconds, or travelled less than one body length in distance, were rejected.…”

“…As well as extensive behavioural data, there is currently a concerted effort to map the neural connectome of the larva, and to link observed neural anatomy and dynamics to behaviour [16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27]. Moreover, recent modelling studies have already explored the importance of biomechanics in understanding the animal's crawling (in 1 spatial dimension) [28][29][30][31] and substrate exploration/taxis behaviours (in 2 spatial dimensions) [30,32,33], emphasising the crucial role that sensory feedback, which conveys some measurement of the physical state of the animal to its nervous system, plays during behaviour [28][29][30][31]33].…”
