3D reconstruction of the fruit fly brain connectome. Over 139,000 neurons connections mapped out

From the FlyWire website: Overview Since 2019, scientists and experienced proofreaders have utilized FlyWire to proofread AI segmentation of a full fly brain (Dorkenwald et al., Zheng et al.). As of July 2023, the FlyWire flagship preprint Neuronal wiring diagram of an adult brain is available on bioRxiv, which includes 127,978 proofread neurons (Dorkenwald et al.). The companion annotation paper includes over 700,000 labels (Schlegel et al.). Automatically extracted presynaptic and postsynaptic tags have been applied to all putative connections in the brain (Buhmann et al.), and the dominant neurotransmitter assigned for most neurons (Eckstein et al.). Explore the connectome and its annotations in Codex.
