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

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 'roadmap' of the fruit fly brain Researchers gain important new insights into the insect's nervous system Date: May 7, 2025 Source: Universität Leipzig Summary: Researchers have gained ...

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).

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 ...

A team of researchers at Cornell University has made a discovery in fruit flies that could change the way we understand brain ...

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 ...
