A team of researchers has discovered that a protein called cypin plays a powerful role in helping brain cells connect and ...

Scientists have discovered how a key protein helps maintain strong connections between brain cells that are crucial for ...

If you regularly experience headaches, dizziness, balance problems and blurred vision, our Neanderthal cousins could be to ...

The reliability of a network is often described by its robustness under errors or attacks. The robustness of many complex networks has been understood from their scale-free structure. Indeed, ...

Howard Hughes Medical Institute-led research has produced a complete connectome of the Drosophila visual system, enabling systematic investigations into how visual information is processed and relayed ...

Here, we show that 3′ UTR diversity regulates the expression of protein-coding genes in synaptic regions of the Drosophila brain. We biochemically isolate synaptosomes—structures that contain ...

Our biceps and our brain cells may have more in common than previously thought. New research led by the Lippincott-Schwartz Lab shows that a network of subcellular structures similar to those ...

The heart may be much more than an organ simply ensuring blood circulation. A study has highlighted the presence of a complex ...

A tiny brain for immense discoveries. The fruit fly, this simple vinegar fly, holds within it the secrets of neural connections. Could understanding its brain pave the way for insights into human ...

The whole brain connectome of the Drosophila fruit fly is the first complete synaptic resolution wiring map of the brain of an adult animal capable of complex behaviours. Validating this connectome ...
