A groundbreaking new connectome maps every neural connection in an adult fruit fly’s central nervous system, creating an ...

A complete wiring diagram of all the connections between the fruit fly brain and "spinal cord" provides translational ...

First complete connectome of the fruit fly central nervous system details all connections between neurons in the brain and ...

Researchers publish the first complete fruit fly central nervous system connectome, proving motor control is distributed in ...

Howard Hughes Medical Institute-led research has produced a complete connectome of the Drosophila visual system, enabling systematic investigations into how visual information is processed and relayed ...

In many ways, the brain is uncharted territory akin to the deepest parts of the ocean and farthest reaches of outer space. As with any new frontier, navigating it requires a map. Researchers have ...

Light enters the compound eye of the fly, causing hexagonally arranged photoreceptors to send electrical signals through a complex neural network, enabling the fly to detect motion. With maps of the ...

The ability to measure the connectivity of each neuron in a neural circuit has established large maps of neuronal pathways—the connectome. But the extent to which those connectivity measurements alone ...

With maps of the connections between neurons and artificial intelligence methods, researchers can now do what they never thought possible: predict the activity of individual neurons without making a ...

Just like a road atlas documents the web of highways connecting thousands of individual towns, a neuron atlas unveiled earlier this year mapped the physical connections between the brain cells of the ...

Neuronal Type Assignment from Connectivity (NTAC) transforms a connectome into a graph, and detects neuron types using "connectivity fingerprints” and groups the neuronal cell types in the connectome.
