When asked what’s so special about Drosophila melanogaster, or the common fruit fly, Gerry Rubin quickly gets on a roll. Rubin has poked and prodded flies for decades, including as a leader of the ...

Scientists have unveiled the first complete map of an insect's brain. The comprehensive map, called a connectome, took 12 years of meticulous work to construct, and shows the location of all 3,016 ...

Over 12 years, researchers mapped all of a larval fruit fly's brain, charting 3,016 neurons and 548,000 connections. It's big news for neuroscience. Reading time 7 minutes To most humans, a fruit fly ...

Scientists have done something immeasurably intriguing: they've managed to map the brain of a larval fruit fly completely. It's a huge step forward for neuroscience, as it gives scientists a complete ...

The first complete activity map of the brain has been unveiled by a large international collaboration of neuroscientists. The International Brain Laboratory (IBL) researchers published their findings ...

Researchers from Tokyo Metropolitan University have used simulations to show that a newly developed, compact X-ray telescope ...

Astronomers unveiled the most complete 3-D map of the local universe (out to a distance of 380 million light-years) ever created. Taking more than 10 years to complete, the 2MASS Redshift Survey (2MRS ...

Brain-wide map showing 75,000 analysed neurons lighting up during different stages of decision-making. At the beginning of the trial, the activity is quiet. Then it builds up in the visual areas at ...

Scientists at deCODE genetics/Amgen have constructed a complete map of how human DNA is mixed as it is passed down during reproduction. The map marks a major step in the understanding of genetic ...
