The fruitfly Drosophila melanogaster has enabled significant ... that in turn synapses with five motor neurons (only one shown for clarity) that direct a set of flight muscles.

They are titled "Synaptic architecture of leg and wing premotor control networks in Drosophila" and "Connectomic ... through electrical signals from motor neurons. These signals are conducted ...

However, the evidence supporting some of the conclusions remains incomplete, and further mechanistic studies are needed to clarify how miR-283 affects normal aging and influences exercise adaptations.

The result: "The circadian clock in the Drosophila brain consists of at least 240 neurons, which is significantly ... navigation, motor control, and hormone production and release.

Research in a mouse model of Huntington’s disease has shown that the adult brain can generate new neurons that integrate into key motor circuits. Building on previous work, the new findings ...
