Researchers once again turned to fruit flies for a study on how their nervous systems allow them to adapt to unexpected changes in their environment and how they adjust their movements accordingly. Since fruit flies have a fully mapped nervous system they were the chosen subjects for the study. They used a tiny linear treadmill to record how the flies responded to changes in speed and unexpected challenges. Seriously? Fruit flies can think enough to adapt to unexpected challenges? Oh well, it's always the fruit flies.
