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 ...
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 ...
The functioning of the brain relies on the precise organization of neuronal connections. In an article published in ...
Male fruit flies don't just sing to their mates; they also use sound-cancelling wing-flicks to jockey with rivals. This new understanding of how male flies compete for female partners could shed light ...
New research reveals that brain cells use a muscle-like signaling mechanism to relay information over long distances.
