Scientists have created a virtual brain network that can predict the behavior of individual neurons in a living brain. The model is based on a fruit fly’s visual system, and it offers scientists a way ...

For the first time, researchers have created genetically modified fruit flies that can become addicted to cocaine. The flies will self-administer cocaine if given the option. The new model could prove ...

In a new JNeurosci paper, Adrian Rothenfluh and colleagues from the University of Utah developed a fruit fly model of cocaine self-administration that can be used to explore the genetic underpinnings ...

JUANA SUMMERS, BYLINE: Scientists have created an artificial intelligence system that thinks like a fruit fly, and that's a good thing. NPR's Jon Hamilton reports that the approach could help make ...

Drosophila -- known as fruit flies -- are a valuable model for human heart pathophysiology, including cardiac aging and cardiomyopathy. However, a choke point in evaluating fruit fly hearts is the ...

Researchers have created an AI model that can predict some fruit fly brain signals. It was able to predict the activity of neurons in a fruit fly by looking at how those neurons were connected.
