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 ...

This image shows the complete fruit fly connectome: all 139,255 brain cells in the brain of an adult fruit fly. Activity within these neurons drives an entire organism, from sensory perception to ...

The mammal brain is a complex network of billions of cells connected via trillions of nodes that neuroscientists have yet to tease apart. Now, researchers have mapped the many brain cells and ...

From a cubic millimeter of brain tissue, scientists have constructed a precise, 3D map of the activity in a mouse’s brain, ...

This map shows the precise location and arrangement of the 50 largest neurons of the fly brain connectome. These 50, along with another 139,205 brain cells in the brain of an adult fruit fly ...

To explore this central question in neuroscience, our team chose to study the fruit fly ... we built a connectome 2 (a comprehensive map of neurons and their connections) of the fly visual system.

In addition, researchers are reconstructing the complete ‘connectome’ of the fruit fly brain - that is, mapping out all the connections between every neuron in the brain. This information is already ...

You gotta love the fruit fly. Sure, they start out as revolting maggots, devour ripening fruit and infest the garbage pail. But they’re also invaluable scientific model organisms. The bristly bugs ...
