New research uses pioneering tools to show how aggressive female fruit flies' vision is regulated to focus on what's important.

Using the fruit fly connectome, scientists uncovered how insects' neurons and circuits work together to flexibly control visual information in different situations.

Uncovering how a social behavior like aggression controls vision in fruit flies could provide insight into similar mechanisms in other animals, including humans.
