As in most of their projects, the Syed lab team uses Drosophila, commonly known as a fruit fly ... The Syed team studies how developmental and genetic factors regulate the formation of thousands of ...

However, it's still unclear how this process causes neuron damage. As described in a study published in Nature Communications, Oregon Health & Science University researchers have developed new ...

As they’re battery-free and actuated noninvasively by light, thousands of them could be deployed in the body simultaneously. This groundbreaking approach could restore neuron function by acting as ...

Drosophila melanogaster uses smooth optomotor head and body movements to stabilize gaze, and impulsive saccades to pursue elongated vertical bars. Directionally selective motion detectors T4 and T5 ...

This is seen in almost all animals ranging from the fruit fly Drosophila, to mice and humans ... The neurons release a signaling molecule called GABA, which is detected by a type of neighboring ...
