“We're seeing differences in brain outcomes between children with higher levels of pollution exposure versus lower levels of pollution exposure,” said Camelia Hostinar in a press releas ...

The brain diagram, called a connectome, could revolutionize researchers’ understanding of the human brain, which has many parallels with a fruit fly’s Margherita Bassi Daily Correspondent ...

An international collaboration of scientists has mapped the brain of a fruit fly in a milestone research project announced on Thursday. The research sought to decipher how brains are wired and the ...

It's an accomplishment that scientists have dreamed about for more than half a century. At last, a massive international team of researchers has mapped in exquisite detail every neuron in the brain of ...

Scientists have recently completed the most ambitious effort yet to construct such a map: a complete document of every neuron and every connection in the brain of an adult fruit fly. The research ...

In the brain of a singular fruit fly, nerve cells weave themselves together, enabling flight, mating, eating, sleeping and every other activity of her fly life. Now, in nine papers published ...

Scientists have mapped out how 140,000 neurons are wired in the brain of the fruit fly, Drosophila melanogaster. By Carl Zimmer A fruit fly’s brain is smaller than a poppy seed, but it packs ...

For many heartbreaking diseases of the brain — dementia, Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s and others — doctors can only treat the symptoms. Medical science does not have a cure. Why? Because it’s difficult to ...

Previous researchers mapped the brain of a C. elegans worm, with its 302 neurons, and the brain of a larval fruit fly, which had 3,000 neurons, but the adult fruit fly is several orders of ...

Mapping the brain is a daunting task because it contains a huge number of cells and cell connections. It took almost 50 labs around the world to create a new neural map, or connectome, of an adult ...
