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

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 ...

Exposure to B. bassiana fungus activated Toll receptors, leading to cell death throughout the fly brain. A new study published in PLOS Biology reveals that a fungal infection can activate a fruit ...

A groundbreaking brain implant has allowed a paralyzed man to control a virtual drone and fly it through an obstacle course. The feat, as detailed in a study published in the journal Nature ...

We often think the brain is like a muscle ... had spotted similar arrangements in high-resolution microscope images taken of the ER inside fly brains. The unfamiliarity of the patterns caught ...

In this study, researchers first enriched eNMDARs from brain tissue of adult wild-type rats using a high-affinity antibody ... in the brain at near-atomic resolution. Researchers identified ...

"The mechanism that we identified is something that very likely could also exist in a mammalian brain." The researchers noticed that alcohol affected fruit flies much like it affects humans. When ...
