An AI startup has built a virtual fruit fly powered by a digital brain model that drives real-like behaviour, hinting at early brain emulation tech.

A Johns Hopkins University mathematician and computer scientist joined an international team of neuroscientists to create a complete map of the learning and memory center of the fruit fly larva brain, ...

New work in fruit flies uncovers an electrical trick that allows neurons to compute direction efficiently by juggling multiple signaling mechanisms. These findings could reframe our understanding of ...

It's been a long time since Alice Charton got a good look at a human face. There are plenty of people moving through her world, of course—her husband, her friends, her doctors, her neighbors—but ...

A man who hasn’t been able to move or speak for years imagines picking up a cup and filling it with water. In response to the man’s thoughts, a robotic arm mounted on his wheelchair glides forward, ...

The fruit fly brain was an obvious place to start. Scientists had already found all of its neurons and knew a lot about the animal's behavior. Then in 2018 scientists at the Janelia Research Campus ...

Researchers at Leipzig University have gained important insights into learning mechanisms in the brain of the fruit fly ...
