The Drosophila Neurogenetics Consortium

The Drosophila Neurogenetics Consortium is a collaborative scientific effort focused on studying the nervous system of the fruit fly, Drosophila melanogaster. By using this model organism, researchers investigate how neurons develop, function, and influence behavior. The consortium shares genetic tools, data, and resources to advance understanding of neural circuits and brain processes. Insights from these studies can help illuminate fundamental principles of neurobiology, potentially informing research on human brain function and neurological disorders.
