Study explores functions of fruit fly's nervous system in food seeking / results valuable for the development and control of artificial intelligence. Zoologists at the University of Cologne studied ...

Many insects fly synchronously, matching the nervous system pulses to wing movement. But smaller insects don’t have the mechanics for this and must flap their wings harder, which works only up to a ...

A team of experimental neurobiologists and theoretical biologists has managed to solve a mystery that has been baffling scientists for decades. They have been able to determine the nature of the ...

“The nervous system has never been able to change the way it makes neurons,” Truman said. That’s partly because the nervous system in all insects arises from an array of stem cells called neuroblasts ...

A collaborative research group has developed a bio-inspired robotic system based on insect behavior which can locate odor ...

Insect populations are consistently declining around the world and intense use of insecticides is suspected to play a role. This week, a study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of ...

Zoologists at the University of Cologne studied the nervous systems of insects to investigate principles of biological brain computation and possible implications for machine learning and artificial ...
