Even older fruit flies are adept at evading a fly swatter. Biologists at the University of Iowa pinpointed how fruit flies—no matter their age—maintained neural circuits for certain motor functions, ...

Increasing poor physical (motor) function from around age 65 is associated with an increased risk of death, finds research published by The BMJ today. Signs of increasing decline, such as difficulty ...

In a recent study published in Nature Medicine, researchers used functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) data on brain circuit function to derive interpretable, personalized brain circuit ...

Biologists have identified neural circuits associated with aging in fruit flies. Some circuits remain the same no matter the fly's age, while others weaken over the fly's life span. Even older fruit ...
