Deciphering the Adult Brain: From Neuroanatomy to Behavior
互联网
460
The Drosophila
 brain with an estimated 100,000 neurons provides at once an excellent opportunity to describe a complex brain in great detail
            and to identify the genetic and neurobiological basis of a wide array of behaviors. Furthermore, the sequencing of the genome
            with the concurrent identification of the elaborate homology of human and Drosophila
 genes and numerous functional studies have established the high relevance of Drosophila
 to understand diseases of the human brain. An overview is provided of available techniques to visualize neurons and neural
            circuitry and to study their function in behavior. Various resources are listed, and future and emerging technologies are
            discussed.
