Amin F, Konig C, Zhang J, Kalinichenko L, Konigsmann S, Brunsberg V, et al.
J Neurosci . 2025 Jan; 45(11). PMID: 39753299
For a proper representation of the causal structure of the world, it is adaptive to consider both evidence for and evidence against causality. To take punishment as an example, the...

Sen E, El-Keredy A, Jacob N, Mancini N, Asnaz G, Widmann A, et al.
Learn Mem . 2024 Jun; 31(5). PMID: 38862170
larvae are an established model system for studying the mechanisms of innate and simple forms of learned behavior. They have about 10 times fewer neurons than adult flies, and it...

Jurgensen A, Sakagiannis P, Schleyer M, Gerber B, Nawrot M
iScience . 2024 Jan; 27(1):108640. PMID: 38292165
Predicting reinforcement from sensory cues is beneficial for goal-directed behavior. In insect brains, underlying associations between cues and reinforcement, encoded by dopaminergic neurons, are formed in the mushroom body. We...

Mancini N, Thoener J, Tafani E, Pauls D, Mayseless O, Strauch M, et al.
J Neurosci . 2023 Sep; 43(44):7393-7428. PMID: 37734947
Larvae of the fruit fly are a powerful study case for understanding the neural circuits underlying behavior. Indeed, the numerical simplicity of the larval brain has permitted the reconstruction of...

Thane M, Paisios E, Stoter T, Kruger A, Glass S, Dahse A, et al.
Open Biol . 2023 Apr; 13(4):220308. PMID: 37072034
Neuronally orchestrated muscular movement and locomotion are defining faculties of multicellular animals. Due to its simple brain and genetic accessibility, the larva of the fruit fly allows one to study...

Thum A, Gerber B
Elife . 2023 Mar; 12. PMID: 36867155
The way neurons in the brain rewire in larvae as they turn to adult fruit flies sheds light on how complete metamorphosis was 'invented' over the course of evolution.
7.
Konig C, Gerber B
J Exp Biol . 2022 Nov; 225(21). PMID: 36373856
Memory scores are dynamic across developmental stages. In particular, memory scores typically decrease from late adolescence into old age, reflecting complex changes in mnemonic and sensory-motor faculties, metabolic and motivational...

Thoener J, Weiglein A, Gerber B, Schleyer M
J Exp Biol . 2022 Aug; 225(16). PMID: 35924545
Animals, including humans, form oppositely valenced memories for stimuli that predict the occurrence versus the termination of a reward: appetitive 'reward' memory for stimuli associated with the occurrence of a...

Kobler O, Weiglein A, Hartung K, Chen Y, Gerber B, Thomas U
J Neurogenet . 2021 Mar; 35(3):306-319. PMID: 33688796
Larval are used as a genetically accessible study case in many areas of biological research. Here we report a fast, robust and user-friendly procedure for the whole-body multi-fluorescence imaging of...

Weiglein A, Thoener J, Feldbruegge I, Warzog L, Mancini N, Schleyer M, et al.
J Comp Neurol . 2020 Sep; 529(7):1553-1570. PMID: 32965036
Dopamine serves many functions, and dopamine neurons are correspondingly diverse. We use a combination of optogenetics, behavioral experiments, and high-resolution video-tracking to probe for the functional capacities of two single,...
