Largest Brain Map Ever Reveals 140,000 Neurons and New Nerve Cell Types in Fruit Fly Brain
A new neural map of the fruit fly brain reveals 140,000 neurons and 54.5 million synapses, providing key insights into its brain function.
Intricate map of tiny fruit fly brain marks major neuroscience milestone
Scientists mapped the fruit fly brain’s more than 50 million connections, a step in aiding future human brain research.
Scientists map fruit fly brain to reveal neural circuit insights
A team of scientists supported by the National Institutes of Health (NIH)'s The BRAIN Initiative, including Davi Bock, Ph.D., Associate Professor of Neurological Sciences at UVM's Robert Larner, M.D.
Largest Brain Map Ever Reveals Fruit Fly’s Neurons in Exquisite Detail
Seung and Murthy say that they’ve been developing the FlyWire map for more than four years, using electron microscopy images of slices of the fly’s brain. The researchers and their colleagues stitched the data together to form a full map of the brain with the help of artificial-intelligence (AI) tools.
Fruit flies are hard to swat. Mapping their brain might tell us why
Fruit fly brains are smaller than a poppy seed, but that doesn't mean they aren't complex. For the first time, researchers have published a complete diagram of 50 million connections in an adult fruit flies brain.
Scientists Unveil the First-Ever Complete Map of an Adult Fruit Fly’s Brain, Captured in Stunning Detail
The brain diagram, called a connectome, could revolutionize researchers' understanding of the human brain, which has many parallels with a fruit fly's
Scientists produce first and largest brain map of a dead fruit fly
The 3D model containing 140,000 neurons and over 50 million connections is a first step towards mapping larger brains.
Scientists map fruit fly brain in neurobiological milestone
Scientists announced on Thursday a milestone in neurobiological research with the mapping of the entire brain of an adult fruit fly, a feat that may provide insight into brains across the animal kingdom,
From fruit fly to this guy: a map of one tiny brain may show how larger ones work
The first full map of an adult fruit fly’s brain shows 50 million connections between neurons. Researchers are using the map to learn how all brains work.
Groundbreaking Brain Map Reveals Fruit Fly Brain in Stunning Detail
The approach used to make the map—which heavily relied on artificial intelligence—could chart more complex brains, such as zebrafish, mice, and even humans.
