The Washington Post reported on the successful mapping of the entire brain of Drosophila melanogaster, more commonly known as the fruit fly, by a team of scientists that included Davi Bock, Ph.D., associate professor of neurological sciences at UVM’s Robert Larner, M.D. College of Medicine. The mapping began in 2013, when Bock was a neuroscientist at the Janelia Research Campus of the Howard Hughes Medical Institute in Virginia; he joined UVM as a research associate professor in 2019.
Science Alert titled its article about this research “This Map of Every Neuron in an Adult Fly Brain Could Be Nobel Prize worthy.”
