With 140,000 neurons mapped, the scientific community is now equipped with a complete brain map, the fruit of a decade of research. The goal? Decoding neural circuits.

Scientists have mapped out how 140,000 neurons are wired in the brain of the fruit fly, Drosophila melanogaster.

According to Kaun, the interactive connectome would allow users to “pull out which things are attached to which things” for a more complete understanding of how different parts of a Drosophila brain ...

As many people spent the summer trying to keep the flies away from their fruit-bowls, an international group of scientists published one of the biggest and most important datasets in the field of ...

For Drosophila, an international research consortium has recently published a map of all connections between all neurons in the fly brain—the so-called connectome.

In a study published in eLife, scientists used spatial transcriptomics and a targeted gene panel to capture the positions of 150 mRNAs across the entire body, including the brain, of an adult ...

An international team of researchers and gamers, led by Princeton’s Mala Murthy and Sebastian Seung, mapped every neuron and every synaptic connection in an adult fruit fly's brain, building a ...

The study isn’t the first to map the Drosophila brain. Previously, a team led by Dr. Davi Bock at the Janella Research Campus targeted a small nub of the adult fruit fly brain responsible for learning ...

Researchers map the whole brain of Drosophila melanogaster, or the fruit fly, which comprises about 140,000 neurons and over 50 million synapses.
