Flies are good models of the nervous system, as demonstrated in larva. Red higlights  neural stem cell nuclei and green labels cells that derive from neuroblasts.

ACOX1-driven neurodegeneration is one of the diseases that Bellen’s team has modeled in flies to find drug treatments. In a fly without ACOX1, the immune system attacks the fly’s own tissue. 

Researchers use fruit flies to figure out how genetic mutations disrupt biology and how drugs might reverse these effects.
