A fruit fly larva ... The researchers now hope to use the map to better understand the structures involved in decision making and learning, according to the BBC’s Jason Goodyer.

"We worked with fruit fly models of the condition to assess whether these altered genes drove neuronal dysfunction leading to motor impairments. Importantly, we also investigated whether reversing ...

Ultimately, they also hope to understand how "miswiring" leads to dysfunction in conditions ranging from epilepsy and autism, to schizophrenia and Alzheimer's. The fruit fly brain was an obvious ...

Over time, this wipes out fruit fly the population – at least that’s the hope. In Ventura County, wherever Queensland fruit flies are detected, vegetables and fruits will be removed and plants ...

If fruit fly wings do not develop into the right shape ... Going forward, the researchers hope to gain a better understanding of the genetic and chemical signals that affect actomyosin.

The fruit fly (Drosophila melanogaster) is about the size of a poppy seed and its lifespan matches its minuscule stature, as it buzzes around this planet for less than two months before kicking ...
