NASA's first mission with fruit flies in 1947 aimed to assess possible human space travel, highlighting their shared genetic similarities, like aging and alcohol reactions.
The new study details a comprehensive mapping of the fruit fly brain, identifying over 8,000 cell types, with implications for understanding complex neural networks in humans.
Researchers released detailed diagrams and 3-D models of the fly brain through FlyWire, marking a significant advance in neuroscience and our understanding of brain connectivity.
In mapping the fruit fly brain, scientists revealed how sensory signals influence behavior, providing insights that could bridge our understanding of brain function across species.
