In a groundbreaking achievement, Princeton University scientists have fully mapped the brain of an adult fruit fly, Drosophila melanogaster, unlocking new insights into how brains work. The feat marks ...

Scientists have built a working simulation of an entire adult fruit fly brain and connected it to a physics-based virtual body, producing what amounts to a digital insect that can process sensory ...

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 used it to model how the brain of a fruit fly reduces the dimensionality of smells, and found that it agreed well with observations in previous studies of how flies associated smells with their ...

New research from Peter Mac has uncovered why some parts of the brain may be more vulnerable to tumor growth than others, ...
