San Francisco startup Eon Systems claims that it has created the first digital simulation of a fruit fly brain that can control a virtual body and produce recognizable behaviors.… We'd call this "huge ...

A new computational model simulating fruit fly wing development has enabled researchers to identify previously hidden mechanisms behind organ generation. An research team developed a fruit fly model ...

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 ...

The model consisted of three layers, each of which corresponded to specific groups of neurons in the fly brain. It also incorporated dopamine-dependent Hebbian plasticity—the concept that the ...

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 ...

Researchers at the University of Alabama at Birmingham now show a way to significantly cut the time needed for that analysis while utilizing more of the heart region, using deep learning and ...
