Role of the Subesophageal Zone in Sensorimotor Control of Orientation in Drosophila Larva
Drosophila larvae chemotax by alternating runs with directed turns. To map the sensorimotor pathway directing this process, Tastekin et al. combine a genetic screen with high-resolution behavioral analysis and acute functional perturbations. They find that the subesophageal zone plays a critical role in the sensory control of orientation behaviors.
