The circadian clock neural network is highly conserved across species, making the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster an ideal model for circadian clock studies. The study revealed that light input ...

Drosophila melanogaster, took 10 years and involved hundreds of researchers worldwide. Scientists had mapped the 300-neuron brain of a tiny worm, but this is "the first time we've had a complete ...

At last, a massive international team of researchers has mapped in exquisite detail every neuron in the brain ... to an adult female fruit fly (Drosophila melanogaster). This might seem like ...
