Researchers have built the first ever map showing every single neuron and how they’re wired together in the brain of the fruit fly larva.This huge step forward in science will ultimately help us ...

Researchers have completed the most advanced brain map to date, that of an insect, a landmark achievement in neuroscience that brings scientists closer to true understanding of the mechanism of ...

Researchers have completed the most advanced brain map to date—that of an insect—an achievement that brings scientists closer to a true understanding of the mechanism of thought. The team led by Johns ...

In a new study, scientists from the University of Cologne gained new insights into the mechanism of the rhythmic activation of nerve cells (neurons) in stick insects that control the leg muscles ...

A team of experimental neurobiologists at Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz (JGU) and theoretical biologists at Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin has managed to solve a mystery that has been baffling ...

Ant societies are built on scent. Pheromones guide the insects to food, warn them of predators, and regulate the rhythms of their colonies. This chemical communication system is governed by a simple ...

Motor neurons are the cells the brain uses to command muscles to act. Scientists typically thought of them as simple connections, much like the cables that link computers with their accessories. Now, ...

An international team of researchers headed by collaborators at Johns Hopkins University and at the University of Cambridge have produced a breathtakingly detailed diagram tracing every neural ...

Scientists have produced the most comprehensive map of a brain to date, which traces every neural connection of a larval fruit fly, making it a groundbreaking achievement in neuroscience. The map of ...
