Complex map of fly brain reveals neurological insights

Nature logo

Marta Zlatic and Albert Cardona’s groups in the LMB’s Neurobiology Division (also at the University of Cambridge) have unveiled the first complete map of a fruit fly brain, including all its neurons and connecting synapses. This connectome offers new insights into the brain and will serve as a reference brain, allowing researching to study neurological diseases in greater detail. More…
