Neuronal cells interact to produce a diverse behavioral organization. Cooperation among designated neuronal populations of several cells leads to endogenous behavioral generation that is not driven by stimuli. This property distinguishes the brain from an automated, stimulus-driven artificial entity. These spontaneous behaviors represent intrinsic properties of the specific neuronal circuits. The primary aim of this study was to identify the neuronal components underlying the mediation of spontaneous yaw torque behavior in Drosophila. The role of various neuronal populations in spontaneous behavior generation was investigated using genetic dissection and mathematical tools, such as the S-Map procedure and GRIP analysis. A screening procedur...
