Scientists have identified two neural mechanisms, "Walk-OFF" and "Brake," that control stopping behavior in fruit flies. Using optogenetics, they activated specific neurons to halt fly movement under red light. These mechanisms are context-dependent, with "Walk-OFF" controlling stopping during feeding and "Brake" during grooming.
