Neuroscience research just got a little bit easier, thanks to the release of tens of thousands of images of fruit fly brain neurons generated by Janelia's FlyLight Project Team. Over eight years, the ...

Researchers have taken powerful microscopy techniques and combined them to create a cutting edge tool for generating three-dimensional videos of individual nerve cells as they function in live fruit ...

The image shows axo-axonic innervation in the nerve cord of the fruit fly. Dye-filled giant fiber axons (purple) serve as command neurons to drive escape behavior in the fly. A population of cells ...
