Research Roundup
Mapping an entire (fly) brain to understand our own brains
For many heartbreaking diseases of the brain — dementia, Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s and others — doctors can only treat the symptoms. It’s difficult to cure what we don’t understand, and the human brain is almost hopelessly complex.
Now, the vast FlyWire team led by Princeton’s Mala Murthy and Sebastian Seung has made a major step forward by mapping a fruit fly brain. With NIH support, they have opened a pathway for detailed maps of the human brain “and the tailored treatments that could follow.”
