Almost two million euros to understand how the fruit fly brain computes and corrects trajectory errors

When we try walking in a straight line with our eyes closed, after a few steps forward we inevitably deviate from our intended path. But somehow our brain knows it – senses it –, and enables us to more or less correct that deviation error. To do it, we decide to inflect to our body a movement toward the opposite side of the deviation as we take our next step.

Check Up #11 - Radiology, interventional radiology, and nuclear medicine

Consider CT scans and PET scans. In oncologic radiology, these are two very popular diagnostic tools, meant for imaging the tissues inside the body and detect cancer. 

A CT-scan (CT for computerized tomography) gives detailed, static, images of the body’s internal organs and tissues. This is enough to see a rough image of a tumor, but may not always allow doctors to distinguish the exact frontier between benign and malignant tissues.
