The same neuron can tell fruit flies to walk toward the smell of rotting fruit and speed up, according to new research from Yale scientists. Neurobiologists once believed that each neuron held a ...

This article is about how we perfected simulated a fly brain and could predict what would happen with it just like the real brain of a real fly. Though this would beg the question, if we could do this ...

One of the world's top centers for brain science is taking a huge gamble on a tiny, transparent fish. GERRY RUBIN: It's a big, risky bet, but that's what makes it interesting. CHANG: NPR's Jon ...
