From a tiny sample of tissue no larger than a grain of sand, scientists have come within reach of a goal once thought unattainable: building a complete functional wiring diagram of a portion of ...

In a feat that seemed unachievable just a few short years ago, an international research consortium has today unveiled the first complete wiring diagram of an entire fruit fly brain. The map ...

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.

“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 ...

It would have not been possible to reconstruct the entire wiring diagram manually. This is a display of how AI can move neuroscience forward,’ said Prof. Sebastian Seung, one of the co-leaders ...
