Elementary sensory-motor transformations underlying olfactory navigation in walking fruit-flies

Elementary sensory-motor transformations underlying olfactory navigation in walking fruit-flies

Odor attraction in walking Drosophila melanogaster is commonly used to relate neural function to behavior, but the algorithms underlying attraction are unclear. Here, we develop a high-throughput assay to measure olfactory behavior in response to well-controlled sensory stimuli. We show that odor ev...
