Studying the fruit fly first has helped because over the past two decades, Luo and his lab have gotten to know the function, physiology and anatomy of the organism's olfactory system very well.

A smart computer program named JAABA has helped scientists create a brain-wide atlas of fruit fly behavior. The machine-learning program tracked the position and cataloged the behaviors of 400,000 ...

Mapping behavior in the fruit fly brain Date: July 13, 2017 Source: Cell Press Summary: One of the primary missions of neuroscience is to make connections between particular neurons in the brain ...

“While the fruit fly brain is much simpler than the human brain, it still contains about 100,000 interconnected neurons that combine in complex ways to produce behavior,” project lead Dr ...

All of the nerve cells — and virtually every connection between them — in a larval fruit fly brain have now been mapped, researchers report in the March 10 Science.

A fruit fly’s brain is smaller than a poppy seed, but it packs tremendous complexity into that tiny space. Over 140,000 neurons are joined together by more than 490 feet of wiring, as long as ...

UC Santa Barbara neuroscientists have reconstructed the entire anterior visual pathway of a fruit fly, a complex series of connections between the insect's eyes and the navigation center of its brain.

A virtual version of a fruit fly's visual system could help scientists understand how brain networks process information. The model could also lead to more efficient AI systems.

Previously, there were no cell types from the fly uterus identified with genetic markers. The new study reveals more than 20 different cell types in the uterus and associated organs. “The most ...
