Sentences with phrase «fly brains process»

The study uses imaging technology and electrophysiology to understand what happens between neurons at synapses to make sense of how fruit fly brains process odors.

Not exact matches

With no SOCE, the wiring process to create a «flight circuit» in the fly brain did not develop — so, why is this important?

In addition, as with the human brain, the fly brain is compartmentalized into regions that process different sensory information (visual, acoustic, olfactory), and it uses the same types of neurotransmitters as humans.

The surprising details of this process, observed in the brains of fruit flies, could shed light on how the human brain develops — and what happens when problems arise.

«Scientists search for the clocks behind aging brain disorders: Study of flies suggests neurodegenerative disorders may speed up aging process.»

It would be useful, for example, to compare the brains of social worker bees, which process vast quantities of visual information as they fly from flower to flower, with those of parasitic wasps.

APPL is found throughout the fruit - fly brain, but primarily in the so - called alpha - beta neurons that are vital to learning processes and memory.

Following the whole process from molecule detection and the reaction of the nerves to the outcome of behavior the researchers found a line in the fly's brain that identifies bad odors and leads the fly to avoid these smells as they indicate something is toxic.

While the buzz of fly wings is more likely to elicit a sense of annoyance than wonder, insect flight behavior links a series of fundamental processes within both the physical and biological sciences: neuronal signaling within brains, the dynamics of unsteady fluid flow, musculoskeletal mechanics, the structural mechanics of composite materials, ecology and evolution.

Intrigued by recent findings that neuron firing rates in the regions of mouse and fly brains associated with visual processing increase during physical activity, UC Santa Barbara psychologists Barry Giesbrecht and Tom Bullock wanted to know if the same might be true for the human brain.

The brain is describing the present — processing reams of disjointed data on the fly, editing everything down to an instantaneous now.

Creating the installation was spontaneous — Amir flew in and workedswiftly, on the spot, a contrast to the slower process of his paintings, but he says, «I enjoyed it, it uses different parts of my brain.»
