To understand the vast complexity of the human brain, neuroscientists examine simpler organisms, like fruit flies.
Researchers have developed a tool named trans-Tango, which translates the activation of specific receptor proteins into gene expression that allows researchers to fly through the brain and see what parts are activated. This video visualizes all the neural connections of a learning and memory center, called the mushroom body, in the fruit fly brain.
