In the last several decades work on model organisms has revealed that small numbers of highly conserved signaling molecules are repeatedly utilized in various stages of development across ... By using ...

Scientists found that fruit fly embryos can develop through multiple genetic paths, not just one. This challenges traditional ideas.

Genetic studies in model organisms, including Drosophila, have a rich history of fundamental insights in neuroscience, including the identification and functional dissection of genes important in ...

The limited knowledge of brain connections hinders the development of effective treatments. With this new map, researchers have identified 139,255 neurons and more than 50 million synaptic ...

and affect neuronal development and plasticity. Rabah et al. elegantly show that, in Drosophila, astrocytes signal to neurons with hydrogen peroxide to encode memories. This redox-based ...
