Drosophila Melanogaster

Scientists announced on Thursday a milestone in neurobiological research with the mapping of the entire brain of an adult fruit fly, a feat that may provide insight into brains across the animal kingdom, including people.

Researchers from the Oregon State University have revealed that the damaging effects of the blue light emanating from bright displays worsen as one gets older. To reach the conclusion, the team conducted an experiment on Drosophila melanogaster or the common fruit fly.
