Scientists have created the first detailed wiring diagram of an insect brain. The brain, from a fruit fly larva, contained 3016 neurons connected by 548,000 synapses, the team reported Thursday in ...

The first wiring diagram of every neuron in an adult brain and the 50 million connections between them has been produced for a fruit fly. This landmark achievement has been conducted by a large ...

The new diagram is “a reference map,” that could help researchers better understand how the brains of animals work, Marta Zlatic, a neuroscientist at the University of Cambridge in England and ...

“With the fly wiring diagram, we have the potential for an unprecedented, detailed and deep understanding.” Previous researchers have mapped the brain of a C. elegans worm, with its 302 neurons, and ...

Researchers mapped all 139,255 neurons in the brain of an adult fruit fly, which are linked by more than 50 million synapses. Tyler Sloan for FlyWire, Princeton University, (Dorkenwald, S.
