Fruit fly brain, illustration C018 / 0791

Fruit fly (Drosophila melanogaster) brain, illustration. The two large structures at right and left are the optic lobes, which process information from the flys large compound eyes. Fruit flies are used as model organisms in a number of biological sciences, including neuroscience

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate illustration of a fruit fly brain, specifically Drosophila melanogaster. The image highlights two prominent structures on either side known as the optic lobes, responsible for processing information received from the fly's large compound eyes. Fruit flies have long been utilized as model organisms in various branches of biological sciences, including neuroscience. The vibrant purple hues bring attention to the complexity and beauty found within this tiny creature's central nervous system. With its delicate anatomy and mesmerizing patterns, this artwork provides a glimpse into the world of entomology and neurobiology. As an invaluable tool for research, Drosophila melanogaster has contributed immensely to our understanding of behavior, biology, and even human health. This illustration serves as a reminder that nature holds countless wonders waiting to be explored. Created by Claudia Stocker for Science Photo Library (not affiliated with any commercial use), this print captures both scientific accuracy and artistic expression. It invites viewers to appreciate not only the structure but also the significance of these minuscule brains in unraveling mysteries about our own neural systems.
