HHMI Bulletin Aug 2010 Virginia Hughes	Glimpsing Inside a Moving Fruit Fly's Brain Vivek Jayaraman wants to capture, in real time, how the fly's brain responds to a changing environment. Ultimately, he hopes to uncover very basic patterns -- "algorithms" -- of fly brain activity that hold true in more complex brains including, presumably, ours.
HHMI Bulletin Nov 2011 Jim Keeley	Getting Back to the Bench All Janelia Farm group leaders, fellows, and junior fellows actively engage in research. They work to discover the basic rules and mechanisms of the brain's information-processing systems and developing biological and computational techniques for creating and interpreting biological images.
