Researchers have produced the first complete wiring diagram of an adult fruit fly brain, tracing roughly 139,255 neurons and more than 50 million chemical synapses at single-synapse resolution. The ...

A team of chemical and biological engineers at Seoul National University in the Republic of Korea has developed a proof-of-concept device that could one day lead to the creation of an artificial nose.

Nervous system functions, from motion to perception to cognition, depend on the active zones of neural circuit connections (synapses) sending out the right amount of their chemical signals at the ...
