How Fly Genetics Advances Mammalian Neurobiology Research

A breakthrough study published in the journal Nature has introduced a simplified framework for analyzing complex neural circuits by categorizing over 8,000 unique neuron types in fruit flies (Drosophila melanogaster) into fewer than 200 foundational structural “ground plans.” Led by researchers from the University of Michigan, including Najia A. Elkahlah and Associate Professor E. Josephine … Read more
