A team of researchers have created a new resource for studying motor control of wing movements in fruit flies.

For the first time, researchers at Leipzig University and other institutions have gained comprehensive insights into the ...

Researchers have uncovered a "selfish" X chromosome in the fruit fly Drosophila testacea that manages to distort inheritance ...

The paper describes all the neurons in the neck of the fruit fly that could be identified using light microscopy data. This allowed the researchers to analyse the circuits formed by these cells in ...

Fruit flies can fly or walk forward at high speeds in a perfect straight line. That’s because, at every moment, a network of neurons in their brain detects even the slightest deviation from their path ...

Their findings are published in Cell Reports. Female fruit flies rely on key brain functions like sensing and decision-making to pick their mates. When Karr and his colleagues studied infected ...
