In an age of increasingly advanced robotics, one team has well and truly bucked the trend, instead finding inspiration within the pinhead-sized brain of a tiny flying insect in order to build a robot ...

Researchers have completed the most advanced brain map to date—that of an insect—an achievement that brings scientists closer to a true understanding of the mechanism of thought. The team led by Johns ...

Scientists have created the first complete map of an insect’s brain and, crucially, all of the synaptic wiring that connects it together, according to a new study published in the journal Science. The ...

Scientists are one step closer to understanding consciousness, with the unveiling of the world’s first complete, high-resolution brain map of the baby fruit fly. It’s the most complex and intricate ...

An international team of researchers headed by collaborators at Johns Hopkins University and at the University of Cambridge have produced a breathtakingly detailed diagram tracing every neural ...

Mike Libby uses the carapaces of real insects to create tiny, mechanical works of art. They look like they could be part of a new insect-driven A.I. Not only does Libby’s work adorn a new anthology of ...

Tiny drones could one day crawl through collapsed buildings to help find survivors after earthquakes. These micro-robots, ...

Scientists have created the first detailed wiring diagram of an insect brain. The brain, from a fruit fly larva, contained 3016 neurons connected by 548,000 synapses, the team reported Thursday in the ...
