Scientists have completed the most detailed map ever made of an adult animal brain by charting every cell and connection in a fruit fly's brain (the fly brain map is ridiculously cool-looking).

On the other hand, Ann-Shyn Chiang has argued that there may be specific patterns of connectivity within the fruit fly’s brain. Chiang, a renowned neuroscientist and Academician of Academia Sinica, ...

New work in fruit flies uncovers an electrical trick that allows neurons to compute direction efficiently by juggling multiple signaling mechanisms. These findings could reframe our understanding of ...

The fruit fly brain was an obvious place to start. Scientists had already found all of its neurons and knew a lot about the animal's behavior. Then in 2018 scientists at the Janelia Research Campus ...
