Synapse-by-Synapse Mapping of Drosophila Brain
The complete set of neurons in an insect brain. Researchers have mapped the connectome of an entire Drosophila larva brain. This valuable resource reveals diverse neuron and connection types, extensive multisensory integration, and cross-hemisphere interaction, with structural features resembling prominent characteristics of machine learning networks.
