The fly connectome reveals a path to the effectome
Statistical model of fly brain Here we approximate fly brain dynamics as a first-order vector auto-regressive model (VAR(1)), $${{\bf{r}}}_{t}=W{{\bf{r}}}_{t-1}+{W}_{l,x}{L}_{t}+{{\epsilon }}_{t}.$$

Largest brain map ever reveals fruit fly’s neurons in exquisite detail
A fruit fly might not be the smartest organism, but scientists can still learn a lot from its brain. Researchers
Glowing γ-rays solve thunderstorm conundrum
Nature, Published online: 02 October 2024; doi:10.1038/d41586-024-03032-x Aircraft observations of high-energy rays emitted by thunderstorms reveal that they are both
Neural circuit mechanisms underlying context-specific halting in Drosophila
Experimental animals We used Drosophila melanogaster raised on standard cornmeal-agar medium supplemented with baker’s yeast and incubated at 25 °C with
