A developer built "Fly-By-Wire," a project that uses the fruit fly connectome from the 2024 FlyWire reconstruction (Dorkenwald et al., 2024) to steer an autonomous vehicle, isolating 1,122 neurons fro…
Google Research, in collaboration with HHMI Janelia Research Campus and other partners, has published a complete wiring diagram of the adult male fruit fly brain and central nervous system, containing…
In October 2024, the FlyWire consortium published the first whole-brain connectome of an adult female Drosophila in Nature, mapping 139,255 proofread neurons. The project, supported by NIH, Wellcome T…
ConnectomeFly, a new web-based simulation, lets users chase and squash virtual flies driven by a real fruit fly's scanned connectome, using a live spiking neural network that processes the user's curs…
A new open-source macOS app, DesktopFly, simulates a 3D fruit fly on the desktop using a live spiking neural network based on the FlyWire connectome (v783), with 23,210 neuron soma positions and a 668…
Denis Shiryaev released DesktopFly on August 18th, an open-source macOS toy that simulates a 3D fruit fly on application windows using a 668-neuron circuit with about 19,000 synaptic connections extra…
A new open-source macOS app, DesktopFly, simulates a 3D fruit fly on the desktop using a live spiking simulation of the real FlyWire connectome, with 23,210 neuron soma positions from FlyWire v783 and…
