Social interactions and the brain - Science Nation

The video explores how neuroscientists at Princeton University use fruit flies in virtual reality to study animal communication and brain function. By observing courtship behaviors and neuronal activity, researchers aim to understand sensory perception and interaction. Mathematical models and computer algorithms help analyze fly movements, providing insights into complex behaviors. The findings could enhance understanding of human brain functions and disorders affecting social interactions.

What role does the female fruit fly play in the courtship process according to the research?

In what ways might the findings from this research on fruit flies be applicable to understanding human behavior?
