For years, scientists have wondered how the brain pieces together ... models that really match the anatomy and the biology.” In both studies, the researchers found that PFL3 neurons are involved in ...

Colored green above, a songbird's cortex, which dominates the bird brain anatomy, functions similarly to a human cortex. It is the outer brain shell responsible for controlling perception and some ...

The brain of a 7-day-old fruit fly with Tau expressed in a neuronal circuit used by the fly in olfactory memory. The green outlines the neurons, which are starting to swell and degenerate due to ...

"Initially, these structures look quite different – a whole fly brain is roughly the ... effort in neuroscience to map the anatomy and connections of the brain in as much detail as possible.

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 ...

To investigate CG8093, Usha Acharya’s team generated a fly line that expressed a green fluorescent protein-tagged version of the molecule in the gut. Using fluorescence microscopy, they tracked the ...
