A size principle for recruitment of Drosophila leg motor neurons

A size principle for recruitment of Drosophila leg motor neurons

To move the body, the brain must precisely coordinate patterns of activity among diverse populations of motor neurons. Here, we use in vivo calcium imaging, electrophysiology, and behavior to understand how genetically-identified motor neurons control flexion of the fruit fly tibia. We find that leg...
