While probing the escape reflex in the fruit fly Drosophila, researchers at Johannes Gutenberg-University Mainz (JGU) and the ...

Plastic and thus modifiable neurons lose their function at old age, new research in fruit flies reveals.

As we age, we begin to lose the connections that wire up our brains-and neuroscientists aren't sure why.

In a groundbreaking achievement, Princeton University scientists have fully mapped the brain of an adult fruit fly, Drosophila melanogaster, unlocking new insights into how brains work. The feat marks ...

Scientists uncover new synapse hotspots in the teen brain, challenging the old theory of synaptic pruning and its link to schizophrenia.

The way the brain develops can shape us throughout our lives, so neuroscientists are intensely curious about how it happens. A new study by researchers in The Picower Institute for Learning and Memory ...
