Around the same time, Senior Group Leader Stephan Saalfeld alerted Lippincott-Schwartz to high-resolution 3D electron microscopy images of neurons in the fly brain where the ER was also forming ...

New research reveals that brain cells use a muscle-like signaling mechanism to relay information over long distances.

A fungal infection has been shown to trigger a fruit fly's own immune system to destroy brain cells leading to signs of neurodegeneration, a new study has found.

Reducing acetylcholine signaling within this small set of brain cells again made flies more sensitive to low doses of alcohol, taking longer to fall asleep and waking up more often. The neurons are in ...
