New research has uncovered a process in the brain that could pave the way for future treatments of neurodevelopmental and ...

With 140,000 neurons, 50 million synapses and over 100,000 cell label annotations, the fruit fly brain has been mapped and published in a series of papers written by scientists worldwide, including ...

Ever wish you could stop that fruit fly on your kitchen counter in its tracks? Scientists at Max Planck Florida Institute for Neuroscience have created flies that halt under red light. In doing so, ...

Circadian clocks control physiological processes and behavior in virtually all living organisms. Now an international research team has created a detailed map of the internal clock in the brain of the ...

Scientists map the circadian rhythm-regulating neurons and elucidate their roles in regulating behaviors in Drosophila The circadian clock, an internal timekeeping system, enables organisms to respond ...

Researchers have discovered that blocking both genes brings about a significant reduction in tumor size. The study reveals important differences between tumors in male and female Drosophila and how ...

For many heartbreaking diseases of the brain — dementia, Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s and others — doctors can only treat the symptoms. Medical science does not have a cure. Why? Because it’s confounding ...

Circadian pacemaker neurons in the Drosophila brain display daily rhythms in the levels of intracellular calcium. These calcium rhythms are driven by molecular clocks and are required for normal ...
