Abstract in brief

NeuroMechFly is a detailed, data-driven neuromechanical model of the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster, integrating neural networks, muscle models, biomechanics, and physics simulations.
It is designed to explore how behaviors like walking and grooming emerge from the interaction of neural activity, muscle properties, and the physical environment by replicating real leg movements and predicting forces.
The model can be used to study and optimize locomotor behaviors, helping scientists better understand the complex coordination between neural signals, muscular actions, and mechanical constraints in insect movement.]
