Study reveals how varying odors are perceived similarly in different individuals.
Researchers have identified a neural circuit in the brain of fruit flies that help them perform to their best ability while searching for food.
PPL2 neurons help modulate the strength of memories.
HHMI researchers used electronic microscopy technology to generate a high resolution digital snapshot of the adult fruit fly brain.
Microscopy technology allows researchers to discover new connections in brain areas associated with memory and learning in fruit flies.
An eLife study reveals mantis shrimps have mushroom bodies in the brains. A key player in memory and learning in insects, mushroom bodies have not previously been identified in crustaceans. Researchers believe their finding could shed light on how brain structures evolved in arthropods.
Researchers have constructed a detailed brain map of the mushroom body in the fruit fly brain. The mushroom body is implicated in creating and storing memories for sensory information.
A new study shows how dopamine can help change the flow of information in the brain.
Researchers present evidence of synaptic plasticity in the fruit fly brain as the animal learns.
A new study reveals why some people like odors others find repulsive.
The lateral horn has been identified as the processing center for behaviorally relevant odor information, a new study reports.
Researchers pinpoint a number of neurons in the brain where certain types of memory occur.
