In the widely accepted model of neurogenesis in Drosophila ... to show that surprisingly large neuroblast lineages are present in the dorsomedial larval brain -- a result, they say, of amplified ...

A tiny brain for immense discoveries. The fruit fly, this simple vinegar fly, holds within it the secrets of neural connections. Could understanding its brain pave the way for insights into human ...

“To have a full wiring diagram of the fly brain — as a Drosophila neurobiologist, this is something I’ve dreamed of since I started my lab in 2010.” Mala has pursued that vision — a full connectome of ...

Deep within our nerve cells, a molecule is at work that has no beginning and no end. Instead of a straight chain, as is ...

A map of all connections in the fly brain For Drosophila, an international research consortium has recently published a map of all connections between all neurons in the fly brain -- the so-called ...

2003 ). For example, when expressed in the Drosophila brain, Tau protein—which forms neurofibrillary tangle pathology in AD—causes adult onset, progressive neurodegeneration, truncated lifespan and ...

researchers map the whole brain of Drosophila melanogaster, or the fruit fly, which comprises about 140,000 neurons and over 50 million synapses.Advancements in mapping the brain Brains are vital ...

we hope that they're general principles that will apply not just to the larval drosophila brain but also, essentially every other brain," says Joshua Vogelstein, Associate Professor at Johns ...

From the optic nerve of fruit flies to the endocrine, which produces various hormones, every corner of the brain has been mapped in 3D. Drosophila, which shares about 70% of its human genes ...
