Scientists can reverse brain aging in fruit flies by preventing buildup of a common proteinThe researchers, led by former postdoctoral scholar Edward (Ted) Schmid in David Walker's lab, noticed F-actin buildup in the brains of aging fruit flies and wondered if it contributed to brain ...
When the fly went left of its goal, for instance, PFL3 cells located on the right side of the brain fired to make the insect correct its course. The opposite was true for the PFL3 neurons on the left ...
