This is amazing. 613 neurons mapped in 3D in fly brain. Huge task, integrating imaging, computational tools and so much more. If we understand fly brain, will sure know how human brain works. A connectome and analysis of the adult Drosophila central brain https://t.co/1BcdP3uReG

So, not yet. I guess we have some methods for analyzing connectomes that were developed for smaller ones that we can use for bigger ones, like @catmaid, our stuff, eg https://t.co/1FIyeU6hwr.

The fine print: connectome means at synaptic resolution with neurons and connections fully extracted (eg https://t.co/S2I3A8spiA). Presumably based on volume EM. If you are a connectome scrooge (not a cent!) or big spender, reply below. btw human genome is $6.5B with inflation.

The connectome, which is accessible free online, includes about 25,000 neurons and 20 million synapses, far more than the C. elegans connectome. Here https://t.co/ATMFJ1mz8i https://t.co/dOs4Dk6xOG
