Motor neurons choreograph fruit fly feeding in millisecond-by-millisecond sequence

Eating may look effortless, but behind every bite, the brain runs a split-second relay of coordinated movement. In a recent study, researchers zoomed into the tiny world of fruit flies, or Drosophila, to uncover how their motor neurons orchestrate the rapid sequence of muscle movements that makes feeding possible.
