Yes, "responses" corresponds to what was previously "follow ups".

You can also navigate the thread using the thread dropdown in the
message header.

If you keep hitting next in thread, I don't think you get that though
- if the thread splits out into two, don't you just end up walking
down one branch?

If you want to navigate the whole thread at once, using the "flat
view" is probably more efficient - it gives you a lot fewer clicks.
Try clicking the "flat" link in the message header
