The Neural Protective Effects of Intermittent Fasting in Adult Drosophila Following Traumatic Brain Injury Exposure.

Jesse Jacob Rojas, Marcus Intal, Andrew Kawwa…·Kim D. Finley

This study shows that intermittent fasting improves survival and behavior in Drosophila after traumatic brain injury and reduces inflammation in neural tissues.
