Duration

Through recent advances in microscopy, we now have an unprecedented view of the brain and body of the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster. We now know the connectivity at single neuron resolution across the whole brain. How do we translate these new measurements into a deeper understanding of how the brain processes sensory information and produces behavior? I will describe two computational efforts to model the brain and the body of the fruit fly. First, I will describe a new modeling method which makes highly accurate predictions of neural activity in the fly visual system as measured in the living brain, using only measurements of its connectivity from a dead brain [1], joint work with Jakob Macke. Second, I will describe a whole body physics simulation of the fruit fly which can accurately reproduce its locomotion behaviors, both flight and walking [2], joint work with Google DeepMind.
