The secret behind insects' lightning-fast reactions could offer a blueprint for more energy-efficient robots and self-driving cars, according to a new study challenging our understanding of how brains ...
Brain study reveals memories stick when learning triggers a brief “energy emergency” in glucose-sensing neurons.
Scientists have identified hundreds of genes that may increase the risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease but the roles these genes play in the brain are poorly understood. This lack of understanding ...
Dopamine in the brain influences movement, learning, motivation and sleep. In humans, problems with dopamine are linked to conditions like Parkinson’s disease, depression and sleep disorders. While ...
Although a fruit fly brain is only about the size of a poppy seed, it offers insights into how all brains perceive the world, make decisions and take action, says Mala Murthy, a professor of ...
The portion of the fruit fly larva brain mapped in this project includes roughly 1,600 of the 10,000 neurons contained in a larva's entire brain. The adult fruit fly brain comprises roughly 100,000 ...
