Day 242 of #LMB365 by Dana Galili in Greg Jefferis’ group in the Neurobiology Division shows interactions between fruit flies. These videos are automatically tracked using computer vision and machine learning methods, to closely inspect their social behaviour patterns. By manipulating the activity of specific neurons in behaving flies, the researchers study the logic of the neuronal circuits underlying sex-specific behaviours
