Scientists have mapped out how 140,000 neurons are wired in the brain of the fruit fly, Drosophila melanogaster. By Carl Zimmer A fruit fly’s brain is smaller than a poppy seed, but it packs ...

Researchers mapped all 139,255 neurons in the brain of an adult fruit fly, which are linked by more than 50 million synapses. Tyler Sloan for FlyWire, Princeton University, (Dorkenwald ...

Scientists had mapped the 300-neuron brain of a tiny ... The "stunning detail" of the "tremendous complexity" packed into the fruit fly's tiny brain could "reveal principles that apply to other ...

FRUIT FLIES are smart ... Besides the numbers of neurons and synapses in the fly brain, FlyWire’s researchers have also counted the number of types of neurons (8,577) and calculated the combined ...

In this fruit fly brain, there are precisely two neurons called ... And with the connectome now mapped, scientists have begun to build computer models of how information flows in the brain.

Scientists announced a milestone in neurobiological research on Thursday that may provide insight into brains across the animal kingdom, including people. They mapped the brain of an adult fruit fly.

“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 ...

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.

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 ...
