A forgotten memory is not always a vanished one. FMI neuroscientists investigating the fruit fly brain found that some memories become inaccessible while leaving a silent trace behind. The right remin...

A team of researchers has unveiled the complete connectome of a male fruit fly central nervous system —a seamless map of all the neurons in the brain and nerve cord of a single male fruit fly and the ...

A key function of the brain is to categorize sensory cues as repulsive or attractive and respond accordingly. While we have some understanding of how sensory information is processed in the sensory pe...

For more than a decade, the GENIE Project Team at HHMI’s Janelia Research Campus has collaborated with the research campus’s tool developers and tool users to take innovative biological sensors from n...

Bervoets et al. show that the retrotransposon-derived gene dArc1 is expressed in serotonergic neurons of the Drosophila brain. They found that loss of dArc leads to sugar reward overvaluation during l...

An in vivo electrophysiology approach identifies an incretin-like effect in Drosophila insulin-producing cells, highlighting key circuit dynamics which govern glucose homeostasis via conserved mechani...

Axonal transcriptomes have been characterized, but their regulation and role in neuronal circuits remain unclear. Here authors uncover activity-dependent RNA localization in axons important for memory...
