Scientists Revive Fruit Fly's Brain, Control Robot
American and British scientists have digitized the nervous system of a dead fruit fly, connecting it to a mechanical body. The virtual neurons now control the robot's movements, mimicking the fly's behavior. This project, involving 160,000 neurons and 100 million synapses, is a significant step towards understanding and simulating biological systems. Future plans include working with more complex organisms like zebrafish and rodents.6 sourcesSee all sources
