Fruit fly's brain mapped in 3D for first time using AI New opportunities for neuroscientists to study the workings of the brain have opened up with the creation of this AI generated graphic.

The brain diagram, called a connectome, could revolutionize researchers’ understanding of the human brain, which has many parallels with a fruit fly’s Margherita Bassi Daily Correspondent ...

Along with Elon Musk’s SpaceX, it’s one of two companies with rockets cleared to fly national security space missions for DOD and the intelligence community. The company is in the process of ...

PHOENIX (AZFamily) — Every week, Arizona’s Family looks up restaurants recently inspected by Maricopa County’s Environmental Services Department. Restaurants with some of the highest numbers ...

More than a decade before humans launched themselves into outer space, a tiny species made the journey first. NASA first sent fruit flies on a mission in 1947 to see whether the intrepid insects would ...

The presidential aircraft carrying Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva was forced to circle the air for around five hours after experiencing a technical issue. The incident happened on the ...

In the brain of a singular fruit fly, nerve cells weave themselves together, enabling flight, mating, eating, sleeping and every other activity of her fly life. Now, in nine papers published ...

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 ...

A fruit fly might not be the smartest organism, but scientists can still learn a lot from its brain . Researchers are hoping to do that now that they have a new map — the most complete for any ...

This is easier said than done because even small animals, such as flies, have hundreds of thousands of neurons and millions of synapses. As a result, we only have a complete connectome for very ...

FRUIT FLIES are smart. For a start—the clue is in the name—they can fly. They can also flirt; fight; form complex, long-term memories of their surroundings; and even warn one another about the ...

“With the fly wiring diagram, we have the potential for an unprecedented, detailed and deep understanding.” Previous researchers have mapped the brain of a C. elegans worm, with its 302 neurons, and ...
