FlyWire

A human-AI collaboration to map the fly brain. Explore the connectome in Codex:

Big news! The fly connectome is featured on the cover of a special edition of Nature.
This is all possible thanks to the collaboration of 292 members of The FlyWire Consortium!

Let us know what you create!

Want to build your own fly simulator on the BANC connectome (the full brain + CNS from a female fly, ~160k neurons)? Here's how. 🧵

six legs' motor neurons as gait
- Escape loop: giant fiber → tergotrochanteral jump muscle, the fastest reflex in the fly, end to end in one graph
- Fly-in-a-box: hook a 3D body to the motor neuron output and let brain-side sensory input close the loop

Never thought we’d live to see a virtual fruit fly aura battle. Generational. Better hit that 35 ms wing song rhythm to win over the fly ladies.

Perdóname Dios por lo que voy a hacer

[Alexander Bates @as_bates]

Modelling the whole fly brain from just the connectome and thinking that reveals something about fly behaviour, is a bit like modelling traffic flow out of Google maps and thinking you understand the world economy. Not unrelated, but not that close.

Thousands of new visitors and tens of thousands of new searches on https://t.co/oex6R4PmxX, where both male and female fly connectomes are available. Get familiar with the fly brain and show us what you create! https://t.co/KLpX7cRr5G

Meyve sineği beynini TCMB’ye bağladım ve faiz kararını belirlemesini istedim. Sinek, insana göre genelde daha düşük faiz kararı belirledi ve enflasyon oranı benzer çıktı.

But can it run DOOM?!

Well...actually, yes.

Why simply be a connectome when you can also wear one?

Scientists mapped 166,000+ neurons in a fruit fly’s nervous system. I saw a dress.

Cascading neural train, a sculpted corset, and orbit-like hips.

My avant-garde muse has a 30-day lifespan and lives on a banana.

Step inside a fly and follow sight, walking, steering & grooming circuits! Powered by @FlyWireNews BANC, a wiring map of a fly’s brain and central nervous system published in @Nature this June. Yesterday brought MaleCNS in @CellCellPress from @hhmi_science @GoogleResearch, an invaluable male counterpart. Now for comparative connectomics!

[FlyWire @FlyWireNews]

Congratulations to our colleagues at @HHMIJanelia @GoogleResearch for expanding the world of connectomics with a second fly CNS, and the first from a male! This will unleash a new world of comparative connectomics.

New issue is out👉https://t.co/uP2kI6DjtL

On the cover: the complete connectome of the male adult D. melanogaster central nervous system. The cover depicts a single representative cell from each of the 11,710 neuron types in the dataset, which contains 166,700 neurons in total.

@GoogleResearch @HHMIJanelia Congrats on this excellent resource for the connectomics world! For anyone curious, you can explore the MaleCNS data in Codex: https://t.co/F6fyG0acXh

@hhmi_science Congratulations! It's only a matter of time until someone simulates MaleCNS and BANC on a virtual fly date XD
