Excited to share our new #biorxivpreprint
We discovered that the fruit fly #drosophila erecta requires food odor to mate and arousal is further enhanced by social group motion.
Cross-species analysis of brain activity reveals a novel gate evolved from within a conserved circuit

Thank you @thetransmitter.bsky.social and @martajhill.bsky.social for highlighting our work!
Some parts of the Drosophila olfactory circuit have evolved more than others, according to a new comparison of two fruit fly species’ connectomes.

Cross-species connectome comparison shows uneven olfactory circuit evolution in flies
The findings start to reveal evolutionary changes that may have helped two species develop different olfactory preferences and adapt to their particular environments.

Ohhh…looks like I missed that paper! Can you please send me the link? 😊

Finally, the organisation of the olfactory circuit enable us to interpret function out of structure, uncovering core conserved as well as hot-spot subcircuits, and leading to testable predictions.

We identified evolutionary patterns. E.g. over short evolutionary distances neuron types and numbers remain conserved, but how they connect changes. See schematic for other key points!

How do brain circuits evolve? We started looking for some answers by using synapse-resolution cross-species comparative connectomics on an entire olfactory circuit 👇
