Study explores functions of fruit fly's nervous system in food seeking / results valuable for the development and control of artificial intelligence. Zoologists at the University of Cologne studied ...

“The nervous system has never been able to change the way it makes neurons,” Truman said. That’s partly because the nervous system in all insects arises from an array of stem cells called neuroblasts ...

Many insects fly synchronously, matching the nervous system pulses to wing movement. But smaller insects don’t have the mechanics for this and must flap their wings harder, which works only up to a ...

Scientists proved for the first time that fruit flies can develop chronic pain-like states lasting weeks after injury, similar to human chronic pain conditions The research revealed that nerve injury ...

Certain parasitic fungi in the genus Ophiocordyceps infect insects and alter their behavior in ways that benefit fungal ...

New research provides important evidence on the role of insecticides on the longevity of insect population. New research has identified a mechanism by which low levels of insecticides such as, the ...

Zoologists at the University of Cologne studied the nervous systems of insects to investigate principles of biological brain computation and possible implications for machine learning and artificial ...
