Abstract
The central complex is one of the most prominent, yet functionally enigmatic structures
of the insect brain. Recently, behavioural, neuroanatomical and molecular approaches
in Drosophila have joined forces to disclose specific components of higher locomotion
control in larvae and adult flies, such as those that guarantee the optimal length
and across-body symmetry of strides and an appropriate activity.
