Scientists have unveiled the first complete map of an insect's brain. The comprehensive map, called a connectome, took 12 years of meticulous work to construct, and shows the location of all 3,016 ...

In an age of increasingly advanced robotics, one team has well and truly bucked the trend, instead finding inspiration within the pinhead-sized brain of a tiny flying insect in order to build a robot ...

Scientists have created the first complete map of an insect’s brain and, crucially, all of the synaptic wiring that connects it together, according to a new study published in the journal Science. The ...

Researchers have completed the most advanced brain map to date—that of an insect—an achievement that brings scientists closer to a true understanding of the mechanism of thought. The team led by Johns ...

Scientists are one step closer to understanding consciousness, with the unveiling of the world’s first complete, high-resolution brain map of the baby fruit fly. It’s the most complex and intricate ...

Researchers have built the first ever map showing every single neuron and how they’re wired together in the brain of the fruit fly larva.This huge step forward in science will ultimately help us ...

An international team of researchers headed by collaborators at Johns Hopkins University and at the University of Cambridge have produced a breathtakingly detailed diagram tracing every neural ...
