Drosophila neural stem cells, known as neuroblasts, exemplify an ideal model to investigate the intricate interplay between intrinsic programmes and extrinsic signals that govern neural development.

A team of experimental neurobiologists at Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz (JGU) and theoretical biologists at Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin has managed to solve a mystery that has been baffling ...

An international team of researchers headed by collaborators at Johns Hopkins University and at the University of Cambridge have produced a breathtakingly detailed diagram tracing every neural ...

Scientists map the circadian rhythm-regulating neurons and elucidate their roles in regulating behaviors in Drosophila The circadian clock, an internal timekeeping system, enables organisms to respond ...

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is the strongest environmental risk factor for the accelerated development of neurodegenerative diseases. There are currently no therapeutics to address this due to lack ...

Breakthroughs don’t often happen in neuroscience, but we just had one. In a tour-de-force, an international team released the full brain connectivity map of the young fruit fly, described in a paper ...
