It's an accomplishment that scientists have dreamed about for more than half a century. At last, a massive international team ...

The study, titled "Whole-brain annotation and multi-connectome cell typing of Drosophila," published in Nature, established a "consensus cell type atlas," or a comprehensive guide, for ...

WEDNESDAY, Oct. 2, 2024 (HealthDay News) -- The head of a Princeton team that mapped the brain of an adult fruit fly -- a watershed step in understanding the human brain -- explains the feat in a ...

Scientists have created a full map of an adult brain for the first time.. The 3D model of all of the neurons of a fruit fly, and the 50 million connections between them, is the first time that ...

Characterization of intracellular synapse heterogeneity aides to understand the intricate computational logic of neuronal circuits. Despite recent advances in connectomics, the spatial patterns of ...

“The fruit fly brain contains ‘only’ around 220,000 cells, a scale for which it has now become feasible to investigate the full diversity of all cell types,” added Aerts. DNA code of ...

This common fly, called drosophila melanogaster (or ‘lesser fruit fly’) has been the subject of a lot of genetic studies, but this study of its brain structure may provide insights in how our ...

Scientists have found evidence of new brain cells sprouting in adults - a process that many thought only occurred in children ...

In Drosophila, adult brain lesions trigger local recruitment of scattered dormant neural stem cells suggesting a mechanism for creating a transient stem cell activation zone.

Scientists say they have very strong evidence that the adult human brain is capable of making new neurons, a point of ongoing ...
