"We have identified the neural stem cells that produce the sleep-regulating neurons of Drosophila. We show that late neural ...

Another study expanded on the concept of direction-selective cells ... understanding of how Drosophila processes motion. This research not only sheds light on the neural mechanisms underlying ...

The circadian clock neural network is highly conserved across species, making the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster ... Photoreceptor cells of the compound eyes, Hofbauer-Buchner eyelets, and ...

During the last century, biologists have extensively studied Drosophila melanogaster ... between cells," Liu explains. "It's like adjusting the connections in a neural network." ...

Pictured: Drosophila melanogaster, more commonly referred to as the fruit fly. During development, synapse formation in the central nervous system of this tiny fruit fly utilizes mechanisms conserved ...
