Scientists reveal how bats with extreme blood ...

Bats have developed incredible mechanisms that allow them to survive with sugar levels that would be deadly for most mammals. These findings could aid in the development of new therapies for humans

How dopamine in fruit flies controls their courtship behavior, ignoring threats, and focusing on mating – new research reveals surprising facts about their brain

How dopamine in fruit flies controls their ...

New research from the University of Birmingham shows that male fruit flies ignore threats during courtship due to increased dopamine levels, which block sensory pathways. This discovery opens up new possibilities for understanding the neural mechanisms of decision-making in animals
