Researchers studying fruit flies discovered that nerve cells sensing limb motion are turned off when the insect moves, allowing the brain to switch between stabilizing posture and enabling dynamic action. This neural circuit, mediated by interneurons, ensures flies can balance while also reacting quickly to external disturbances.
