Wing Brain Circuit (IMAGE)
Caption
Neurons that carry signals from a fruit fly's wings to its brain are stained fluorescent purple in the image above. Researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis have found that flies sleep more when they can't fly, possibly because sleeping helps them adapt to a challenging new situation.
