Researchers have gained comprehensive insights into the entire nervous system of the fruit fly (Drosophila melanogaster). The study describes in detail the neurons that span the entire nervous system ...

They examined the fruit fly’s brain connectome, a comprehensive map of synaptic connections, to learn more about these interactions. This demonstrated that command-like DNs create behavior ...

For the first time, researchers at Leipzig University and other institutions have gained comprehensive insights into the entire nervous system of the fruit fly (Drosophila melanogaster).

When a fruit fly is navigating straight forward at high speed, why does it know that it’s not straying off course? Because as long as the fly moves directly forward, the visual scene shifts from ...

They have also mapped the full circuit responsible for ... completed electron microscopy-based wiring diagram of the fruit fly's brain that allowed them to trace and identify neurons.

Using brain mapping, genetic engineering and machine learning, scientists reveal how parasitic bacteria take over fruit fly ...

Now, research in fruit flies has uncovered a role for two specific brain proteins that are necessary during brain development to prevent seizures. The two proteins, Imp and Sdc, are found in the ...

“At present, there are only a few electron microscopy data sets of the fruit fly’s connectome. None of them has so far included the entire central nervous system – that is, both the brain ...

Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (EPFL) researchers are unraveling the secrets of the fruit fly brain to advance robotics. A team from the institution's Neuroengineering Laboratory have used ...
