This Fruit Fly Brain Simulation Will Convince You These Pests Are Actually Geniuses
Briefly

Understanding neural communication, shaped by experience, is a primary focus of neuroscience. Fruit flies provide a simplified model for studying brain connections due to similarities in brain structure with humans and advanced tools like trans-Tango.
Scientists utilize tools like trans-Tango, developed by Gilad Barnea, to visualize microscopic connections between neurons in the fruit fly brain. This technology translates receptor protein activation into gene expression for neural network visualization.
