The map will allow scientists to study in much greater detail how a brain works. And the complete connectome of the fruit fly may pave the way for mapping larger, more complex brains, including those of mice and, potentially, humans.Learn this English expression: 'On a roll' means experiencing a series of successes or feeling confident and energized.Full lesson: https://plainenglish.com/724 --Plain English helps you improve...
