Discover the Fascinating World of Brain Maps
Have you ever wondered why brain maps are so important? These intricate maps, known as connectomes, reveal the complex network of neurons and connections within a brain. The journey of mapping brains began with the tiny worm Caenorhabditis elegans and has since revolutionized our understanding of neuroscience.
While C. elegans may not have a traditional brain, it showcases remarkable abilities with its simple nervous system. To delve deeper into the complexities of the human brain, researchers turned to Drosophila melanogaster, the common fruit fly, as a valuable model organism.
