Genetic studies in model organisms, including Drosophila, have a rich history of fundamental insights in neuroscience, including the identification and functional dissection of genes important in ...

Drosophila has become a central model for investigating visual ... This architecture allows researchers to test how visual features like motion, shape, or brightness are computed and relayed across ...

The study investigates an emerging research field: the interaction between sleep and development. The authors use Drosophila larvae sleep as a study model and provide valuable insight into how ...

“In Drosophila, there is a well-documented interaction between sleep and metabolism, whereby flies suppress sleep or increase their activity when starved,” said coauthor William Ja of the Scripps ...

However, the evidence supporting some of the conclusions remains incomplete, and further mechanistic studies are needed to clarify how miR-283 affects normal aging and influences exercise adaptations.
