New research uses AI to unravel the complex wiring of the motor system
The nervous system is a marvel of biological engineering, composed of intricate networks that control every aspect of an animal's movement and behavior. A fundamental question in neuroscience is how these vast, complex circuits are assembled during development. A recent study by a group of researchers including Erdem Varol, Assistant Professor of Computer Science and Engineering and a member of the Visualization, Imaging and Data Analysis Center, has provided new insights into this problem by studying how the neurons responsible for leg movement in fruit flies (Drosophila melanogaster) establish their connections.
