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 ...

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

From a cubic millimeter of brain tissue, scientists have constructed a precise, 3D map of the activity in a mouse’s brain, detailing 84,000 neurons and more than 500 million synapses.

A team of researchers have created a new resource for studying motor control of wing movements in fruit flies. The study ... the wing motor neurons and mapped the manipulation of individual ...

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 ...

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).

elegans was completed in 2019, and scientists revealed a map of all the fruit fly brain neurons in 2024. One cubic millimeter of mouse brain is about 20 times bigger than the complete 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 ...
