Scientists have created a virtual brain network that can predict the behavior of individual neurons in a living brain. The model is based on a fruit fly's visual system, and it offers scientists a way ...

This video shows the fly model’s body structure and degrees of freedom. The fly model consists of 67 body parts connected by 66 joints, amounting to 102 degrees of freedom. The video shows a sequence ...

A team of scientists supported by the National Institutes of Health (NIH)’s The BRAIN Initiative®, including Davi Bock, Ph.D., Associate Professor of Neurological Sciences at UVM’s Robert Larner, M.D.

The feat, as detailed in a study published in the journal Nature Medicine, was achieved by mapping virtual inputs to signals sent by a region of the brain that controls the fingers, the left ...

A virtual version of a fruit fly's visual system could help scientists understand how brain networks process information. The model could also... AI met fruit fly, and a better brain model emerged ...
