As millions of Americans adjust their clocks for daylight saving time this week, many experience disruptions in their sleep and daily routines – a reminder of the importance of circadian rhythms that ...

Although a fruit fly brain is only about the size of a poppy seed, it offers insights into how all brains perceive the world, make decisions and take action, says Mala Murthy, a professor of ...

UC Santa Barbara researchers confirmed that parts of the neural network that inhibit movement in fruit flies plays a ...

A Johns Hopkins University mathematician and computer scientist joined an international team of neuroscientists to create a complete map of the learning and memory center of the fruit fly larva brain, ...

Researchers have gained comprehensive insights into the entire nervous system of the fruit fly (Drosophila melanogaster). The study describes in detail the neurons that span the entire nervous system ...

Scientists have built a working simulation of an entire adult fruit fly brain and connected it to a physics-based virtual body, producing what amounts to a digital insect that can process sensory ...

Researchers at UC Santa Barbara are coming ever closer to uncovering the neural circuitry that translates stimulus to action, shining light on previously unseen neural connections and lesser-known ...

Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (EPFL) researchers are unraveling the secrets of the fruit fly brain to advance robotics. A team from the institution's Neuroengineering Laboratory have used ...

Inhibitory "stop" neurons are actually responsible for driving the rhythmic limb movements of fruit flies through a unique ...
