Fly ready to take off
2008/09/01 Roa Zubia, Guillermo - Elhuyar Zientzia
A high-speed camera has shown that fly takeoff is not just a matter of reflexes. To escape a danger, the fly first calculates where the risk comes from and then takes time to organize the body posture. Moving the legs, it adapts the mass center of the body to fly in the opposite direction
to the risk.According to experts, the previous calculation of a fly is surprising, since it only has about 10,000 neurons. In fact, the next challenge of biologists is to understand how this neural network works to achieve such an efficient leak. Photo:
