If you think flies are just annoying, inconvenient, dirty creatures, think again. Their brains may actually be the key for ...

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 ...

Inspired by the humble bee, robotics researchers at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have designed insect-sized aerial bots with a reimagined wing system that can fly for up to 1,000 ...

Scientists from Australia have successfully bioengineered genetically modified fruit flies and zebrafish capable of absorbing ...

Our biceps and our brain cells may have more in common than previously thought. New research led by the Lippincott-Schwartz Lab shows that a network of subcellular structures similar to those ...

In this article, we are going to take a look at where Micron Technology (NASDAQ:MU) stands against the other chip stocks. The semiconductor industry is on a trajectory of rapid growth, with global ...

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 ...

The neurons are in a region of the fly brain which is involved in learning and memory. It functions in many ways like the human hippocampus, where acetylcholine signaling also plays a major role.

Fluorescent microscope image of a fruit fly brain. The central green shapes include regions of the brain that the study identified as being involved in alcohol-induced insomnia. Alcohol use ...
