The case for emulating insect brains using anatomical "wiring diagrams" equipped with biophysical models of neuronal activity [PDF]
, 2018 Developing whole-brain emulation (WBE) technology would provide immense benefits across neuroscience, biomedicine, artificial intelligence, and robotics. At this time, constructing a simulated human brain lacks feasibility due to limited experimental data and limited computational resources.

Current Biology, 2011 Polyphenism is the phenomenon where two or more distinct phenotypes are produced by the same genotype. Examples of polyphenism provide some of the most compelling systems for the study of epigenetics. Polyphenisms are a major reason for the success of the insects, allowing them to partition life history stages (with larvae dedicated to feeding and ...

Egyptian Journal of Biological Pest Control, 2023 Background Baculoviruses are specific pathogens which can lethally infect several lepidopteran pests. However, the sub-lethal effects of baculoviruses are also highly debilitating for the host. The objective of the study was to demonstrate the sub-lethal
