Happy to share our current opinion on the insulin and octopamine systems and their role in shaping neuronal circuits, energy homeostasis, and behavior in #Drosophila, other insects, and 🧑🦱.
Just out: Our review on how insulin and octopamine tune locomotion and feeding in insects. We cover conserved mechanisms and present new insights showing how emerging datasets connect circuit dynamics across timescales.
It was a fun process and I learnt a ton!
