Together, the team has now used this brain connectome to find all the neurons that make up the circadian clock of a fly. The result: "The circadian clock in the Drosophila brain consists of at ...

The work is published in the journal Nature Communications. FlyWire Consortium builds the first whole brain connectome for Drosophila Spearheaded by a team of researchers at Princeton University ...

One significant advancement in the field is the mapping of the connectome of the Drosophila larval brain, which includes over 3,000 neurons and 548,000 synapses. This detailed mapping has revealed ...

a “connectome” — through the brain of an adult fruit fly (Drosophila melanogaster). This image is a video still showing the brain inside an adult fruit fly. The full video is available by ...
