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 ...

For fruit flies, finding the right mate is all about the right song. Now, research shows that male flies don't just try to ...

Whether it is pods of whales or collectives of tiny cells, life's building blocks have ... which is maximal uptake of light and its encoding into neural spikes. They are therefore strongly ...

Evolution might allow for multiple optimal solutions, depending on the constraints and conditions under which an organism evolves.

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

We generated transgenic Bitbow Drosophila lines, established statistical tools ... Interestingly, we found that heat-shock induced recombination events are constrained in neural stem cells of the ...

This important collection of over 800 new cell type-specific driver lines will be an invaluable resource for researchers studying associative learning in Drosophila ... by sparse activity patterns of ...

A University of Ottawa neuroscientist has led a Canadian research team to reveal important new insights into the activation ...

Scientists have discovered that neural stem cells (NSCs) receive constant feedback from their daughter cells, influencing whether they remain dormant or activate to form new neurons and glia.

This important study identifies a new key factor in orchestrating the process of glial wrapping of axons in Drosophila wandering larvae. The evidence supporting the claims of the authors is convincing ...
