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 ...

A team of researchers have created a new resource for studying motor control of wing movements in fruit flies.

Fruit flies can fly or walk forward at high speeds in a perfect straight line. That’s because, at every moment, a network of neurons in their brain detects even the slightest deviation from their path ...

K nowing the location of a gene within intact tissue or a single cell allows scientists to unlock unknown cellular functions.

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).

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 ...

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 ...
