Drosophila melanogaster has long served as a premier model for elucidating the neural basis of behaviour. Its accessible nervous system, combined with the power of genetic manipulation, provides a ...

Scientists have uncovered a key role for the protein “Frazzled” in building and maintaining the rapid neural connections that allow fruit flies to react in milliseconds.

Scientists have identified hundreds of genes that may increase the risk of developing Alzheimer's disease but the roles these ...

A tiny neural network is sufficient to control the daily rhythm of the fruit fly, Drosophila melanogaster. Researchers at the ...

Drosophila melanogaster has long served as a cornerstone in biological research offering deep insights into the fundamental ...

“Our findings suggest that while both protein restriction and spermidine supplementation improve brain mitochondrial function, they largely operate through distinct mechanisms in modulating Drosophila ...

In 2025, the Max Planck Institute for Brain Research welcomes two new Research Group Leaders: Dr. Philipp Brand and Dr. Gregor Schuhknecht. Their arrival expands the institute’s research scope, ...

Researchers at Baylor College of Medicine and the Jan and Dan Duncan Neurological Research Institute (Duncan NRI) at Texas ...
