Region-specific mechanosensation modulates <i>Drosophila</i> postural control behaviour

The relation between regional morphological features derived from the bilaterian body plan and the behaviours necessary to extract utility from such structures is not well understood. Here, we use the Drosophila larva to investigate this ‘form-function’ problem focusing on the mapping of the regional stimuli that trigger an adaptive and evolutionarily conserved behaviour termed self-righting: a…
