Lessons from the cockpit of a fly

Abstract: Flies represent nearly 10% of all species described by science and are arguably unmatched among flying organisms in their aerial agility. The flight trajectory of flies often consists of crisp straight flight segments interspersed with rapid changes in course called body saccades. Recent advances in genetic tools have made it possible to explore the neurobiological circuitry underlying these two distinct modes of fly flight behavior.
