Next time you miss a fly, don't feel bad. Even with "only" 100k neurons, their brains process motion so fast that you’re basically moving in slow motion to them.
Scientists use fruit flies to test nootropics because their brain circuits for memory are surprisingly similar to ours.
They utilize the fly’s manageable yet complex nervous system to study human conditions like Alzheimer’s disease and the cognitive impairments caused by sleep deprivation.
