The post Every Neuron And Synapse Of A Fruit Fly’s Brain Have Been Mapped And Can Be Explored Digitally For The First Time Ever first on TwistedSifter.

Circadian clocks control physiological processes and behavior in virtually all living organisms. Now an international ...

This tractable but non-trivial level of complexity has made fruit flies an attractive target for those who would like to build a “connectome” of an animal brain—a three-dimensional map of ...

Researchers created a complete map of the fruit fly’s brain circadian clock, identifying 240 neurons involved in time-keeping ...

Circadian clocks control physiological processes and behavior in virtually all living organisms. Now an international research team has created a detailed map of the internal clock in the brain of the ...

From oceans found on distant planets to a detailed map of a fly’s brain, these findings deepened our understanding of the ...

In early October, scientists revealed something spectacular—a complete map of a fruit fly’s brain. Roughly the size of a ...

Scientists have advanced their NeuroMechFly model, simulating fruit fly movement in the real world. With integrated vision and smell, NeuroMechFly v2 helps us understand brain-body coordination ...

This furry ring is a compilation of 50 neurons in the fruit fly brain that help the fly navigate. Recent research shows that when the fly changes course, different sections of this ring activate, ...

A lifespan-extending drug called rapamycin was shown to reduce F-actin buildup in fruit fly brains as well. "But that's correlation, not a direct demonstration that F-actin is detrimental to aging of ...
