Navigating the world is no mean feat, especially when the world pushes back. For instance, airflow hitting a fly on its right ...

Scientists have created a virtual brain network that can predict the behavior of individual neurons in a living brain. The model is based on a fruit fly’s visual system, and it offers scientists a way ...

A team of scientists supported by the National Institutes of Health (NIH)’s The BRAIN Initiative®, including Davi Bock, Ph.D., Associate Professor of Neurological Sciences at UVM’s Robert Larner, M.D.

The human brain contains approximately 87 billion neurons. On average, each of these cells make thousands of different connections to facilitate communication across the brain. Neural communication is ...

A fruit fly might not be the smartest organism, but scientists can still learn a lot from its brain. Researchers are hoping to do that now that they have a new map — the most complete for any organism ...

To navigate, the brain must convert changing sensations into a map-like sense of the world, which remains stable as the body moves. A new study finds that the fly brain sometimes performs the ...

A virtual version of a fruit fly's visual system could help scientists understand how brain networks process information. The model could also... AI met fruit fly, and a better brain model emerged ...
