A fruit fly’s brain is smaller than a poppy seed, but it packs tremendous complexity into that tiny space. Over 140,000 neurons are joined together by more than 490 feet of wiring, as long as ...

All of the nerve cells — and virtually every connection between them — in a larval fruit fly brain have now been mapped, researchers report in the March 10 Science. It’s the most complex ...

The first full map of fruit fly’s brain charted 139,255 nerve cells and their millions of connections. Tyler Sloan for FlyWire, Princeton University, (Dorkenwald et al/Nature, 2024) ...

The brain of a fruit fly is the size of a poppy seed and about as easy to overlook. “Most people, I think, don’t even think of the fly as having a brain,” said Vivek Jayaraman, a ...

WASHINGTON, Oct 2 (Reuters) - Scientists announced on Thursday a milestone in neurobiological research with the mapping of the entire brain of an adult fruit fly, a feat that may provide insight ...
