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.   |
