Drosophila melanogaster has long served as a prime model for investigating the neural underpinnings of innate social behaviour. Courtship in these flies comprises a series of complex, stereotyped ...

Drosophila neural stem cells, known as neuroblasts, exemplify an ideal model to investigate the intricate interplay between intrinsic programmes and extrinsic signals that govern neural development.

Scientists at the University of Washington and Harvard Medical School, in collaboration with the ESRF, have discovered the neural circuits that coordinate leg and wing movements in the fruit fly ...

Scientists map the circadian rhythm-regulating neurons and elucidate their roles in regulating behaviors in Drosophila The circadian clock, an internal timekeeping system, enables organisms to respond ...
