The secret behind insects' lightning-fast reactions could offer a blueprint for more energy-efficient robots and self-driving cars, according to a new study challenging our understanding of how brains ...

Truman and his team have now learned how much metamorphosis reshuffles parts of the brain. In a recent study published in the journal eLife, they traced dozens of neurons in the brains of fruit flies ...

Researchers from the University of Konstanz have studied how insect brains take in complex light stimuli and process them in parallel. They are the first to have found evidence that information is ...

A diagram depicting the connectivity, where neurons are represented as points, and neurons with more similar connectivity are plotted closer together. Lines depict connections between neurons. The ...

Sheffield academics believe the speed of flies could help robot technology The "lightning fast" reactions of fruit flies and other insects could "revolutionise" artificial intelligence (AI) systems ...

Just as humans exhibit right- or left-handedness, moths also have a preferred side on which they place their proboscis when ...

In a simulation of Mars, a space rover is testing a control system with an unusual inspiration: insect brains. The software was created by Opteran, a startup based in the UK. But the idea originated ...
