A nervous system circuit in fruit flies toggles between supporting stabilizing body posture reflexes or dynamic voluntary action like walking. In a fruit fly, nerve cells that detect limb movement are ...

In a fruit fly, nerve cells that detect limb movement are silenced when the insect walks or grooms. This on-off switch may help the nervous system to shift between two states: one helps keep the body ...
