For the first time, scientists have mapped every neuron in the brain of an adult fruit fly with incredible detail. This breakthrough, achieved by a massive international team, provides valuable insights into brain structure and function.
about for more than half a century. At last, a massive international team of researchers has mapped in exquisite detail every neuron in the brain of an adult animal with eyes and legs.
This might seem like a small victory compared to a human brain, which contains 80 billion neurons and 100 trillion connections, but it's a huge leap from where neuroscientists started in the 1960s.a 3D diagram of the adult fly 'hemibrainthe wiring of animal brains roughly half a century ago, and these initial attempts were focused on a very simple creature: the sightless and legless worm,An adult fruit fly is the next big step.
The map required more than 7,000 slices of a female fruit fly brain and 21 million images, which could have filled 100 typical laptops with their data.The results are now compiled in no less than 9 related papers, with overlapping groups of authors.

Researchers use training model to map planted and natural forests via satellite imageWhile planting trees may seem like an easy win to combat climate change, planted forests often encroach on natural forests, wetlands, and grasslands. This can reduce biodiversity, disturb the natural environment, and disrupt carbon and water cycling.
