The Drosophila whole male central nervous system connectome enables end-to-end analysis of sensorimotor circuits. Comparison with existing female datasets shows that brain-wide wiring differences betw...

A connectome of the brain and ventral nerve cord of an adult female fruit fly is reconstructed and annotated, providing an open resource that reveals neural control of behaviour to be distri...

Open-source resource poised to propel research on how nervous systems work

Ceci n’est pas une fly.

To pursue a moving visual object, the brain must generate motor commands that continuously steer the object to the center of the visual field via feedback. The gain of this control loop is flexible, y...

Nature - A consensus cell type atlas for the fly brain provides both an intellectual framework and open-source toolchains for brain-scale comparative connectomics.

Artificial intelligence and human expertise meet to generate a map of all the connections in the fly brain. The resource is already being used by experimentalists and theoreticians to further our unde...
