Topic: Drosophila female brain

Characterizing the network properties of animal brains may lead to a better understanding of computation and information flow in these complex organs. However, to date very few whole-brain neuron-level reconstructions have been completed across organisms. The collaborative Flywire project1-2 has completed the proofreading of a connectome for a Drosophila female brain which contains both complete hemispheres of the central brain and includes neurons that receive inputs in the optic lobes. Here, we dissect the network properties of the complete central brain of the fruit fly. We characterized th
