In a sweeping new map of the adult Drosophila melanogaster brain, researchers at the University of Oxford found that mature ...

Researchers from the University of Oxford have created the first high-resolution molecular atlas of the adult Drosophila ...

Researchers create the first high-resolution molecular atlas of the fruit fly brain, revealing how lineage and birth order define neuronal identity.

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 ...

Comprehensive mapping of wing sensory neurons in Drosophila reveals that some proprioceptors make direct connections onto flight steering motor neurons, enabling rapid feedback control during flight.

In a way, fruit flies are just like us. They have eyes, legs, nervous systems, and they love fruit. Unlike us, however, they only have a few thousand neurons in their brains, which means scientists ...

Fruit flies are generally highly susceptible to parasitic wasps, but some have stolen a gene from bacteria that makes them resistant. This adult fly, Drosophila melanogaster, has two cysts (made dark ...
