Editorial: The fruit fly, Drosophila, as a tool to unravel locomotor circuits

Editorial on the Research Topic The fruit fly, Drosophila, as a tool to unravel locomotor circuits The neuronal control of movements has both fascinated and intrigued researchers for many decades. The study also suggests that aberrant glutamate signaling may play a role in conferring motor control circuit vulnerability in DNA repair disorders, including autosomal recessive cerebellar ataxia. [...]the studies showcased in this Research Topic shed light on aspects of the intricate neuronal control of locomotion in Drosophila from a molecular and circuit mechanism point-of-view.
