A team of experimental neurobiologists and theoretical biologists has managed to solve a mystery that has been baffling scientists for decades. They have been able to determine the nature of the ...

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 ...

Fruit flies walking on miniature treadmills are helping scientists learn how the nervous system enables animals to move in an unpredictable and complex world. Insights from using these fruit fly-sized ...

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

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 ...

An international team of scientists has created cyborg cockroaches, with electronics wired to their nervous systems that allow them to be remote controlled. The researchers fitted wireless control ...
