An international team of researchers headed by collaborators at Johns Hopkins University and at the University of Cambridge have produced a breathtakingly detailed diagram tracing every neural ...

Researchers have mapped the more than 500,000 connections in the intricate brain of a fruit fly larva. This map, they say, could help scientists... The first wiring map of an insect's brain hints at ...

Researchers understand the structure of brains and have mapped them out in some detail, but they still don't know exactly how they process data — for that, a detailed "circuit map" of the brain is ...

Near-gap-free and near-error-free genomes of a susceptible bed bug strain and a superstrain with around 20,000-fold insecticide resistance offer the broadest look yet at the full scope of mutations ...

Even in areas relatively undisturbed by human activity, insect populations are on the decline, with climate change as a likely culprit. That's the finding of new research from the University of North ...

The distribution of species around the globe is not a random process but an outcome resulting from several evolutionary mechanisms as well as past and current environmental limitations. As a result, ...

Tom Wassmer points at a malaise trap, which is used to collect samples of flying insects for research. A biology professor at Siena Heights University in Adrian, Michigan, Wassmer is among many ...

Scientists have created the first complete map of an insect’s brain and, crucially, all of the synaptic wiring that connects it together, according to a new study published in the journal Science. The ...

Scientists have produced the most comprehensive map of a brain to date, which traces every neural connection of a larval fruit fly, making it a groundbreaking achievement in neuroscience. The map of ...
