The first wiring diagram of the whole brain of a fruit fly, containing around 140,000 neurons and over 50 million connections, is presented in a paper in @Nature. go.nature.com/3BChkqa
This is figure 1, which shows a connectomic reconstruction of a whole fly brain.

Thrilled that our papers mapping and analyzing the connectome of the complete brain adult fruit fly, including our work with @RunzheYang characterizing the network properties of the brain, have been published at @Nature!

Replying to @FlyWireNews
Explore the network statistics of the Drosophila brain! Lin et al. characterize the statistical and topological properties of the whole-brain network, revealing the interconnected and highly recurrent structure of the brain. nature.com/articles/s41586-0…

Papers reporting the fly whole-brain connectome were published in @Nature today 🎉 and it was my honor to write a News and Views about them Congrats to @sdorkenw, @SebastianSeung, @MurthyLab, @gsxej, and the @FlyWireNews team! + great 🧵 below from David nature.com/articles/d41586-0…
David Rowland@DavidCRowland2 Oct 2024
Here it is! A huge milestone in neuroscience – the complete connectome of the fly brain from the FlyWire team (@FlyWireNews). In this special issue, we have 9 research articles. I’ll try to summarize them in a couple threads starting here 🧵

The fly has a full #connectome, basically a directed + weighted graph. But what are its connection ‘signs’, excitatory/inhibitory? We move towards this answer, predicting transmitters from EM! w/@BobQubit, vid @amyneurons, 1/n Published @CellCellPress: cell.com/cell/fulltext/S0092…

One quick teaser - @DudiFly and Kaiyu Wang identified nearly all sexually-dimorphic neurons brainwide - now possible to trace information flow for social communication and female-specific behaviors. Here is a subset of fru/dsx neurons (render from @alin1194):
