33 years of human work went into mapping a brain smaller than a poppy seed.

This is all of it, every one of its 139,255 neurons.

1 female fruit fly was sliced into 7,050 layers, each thinner than a virus, then shot in 21 million photos.

AI traced the cells, and humans checked every wire by hand: scientists, students and gamers clicking for fun.

The final map:

139,255 neurons
54.5M synapses
8,453 cell types
150 meters of wire folded into 1 speck

No one had mapped a full adult brain before, not a mouse and not a human. A fly went first.

In September 2026, Janelia and Google released the male, with 166,700 neurons mapped from brain to legs through an intact neck.

2 weeks later, the internet put the fly to work:

It played Doom
It flew a simulated drone with zero training
It landed a simulated rocket 60 times out of 80
It wrote LinkedIn posts

But the map only shows where the wires go, not how strong each one is. It has no voltages and no timing, like a circuit diagram with no values on it.

Nobody knows what the fly is thinking, and it posts on LinkedIn anyway.

It took 33 person-years to map 1 fly, and your head holds 617,000 of them.

Allah tested

Nuh with a flood,

Ibrahim with a fire,

Ya'qub with blindness,

Yusuf with separation,

Ayyub with illness,

Musa with tyrants,

Harun with betrayal,

Yunus with patience,

Sulayman with a kingdom and

Dawud with war (AS)

Tests will come, never say "why me?"

Yihong Chen, an AI researcher, recently led a study that taught a machine learning model to periodically forget its initial training. Chen and her team say the success of their approach suggests that forgetfulness may help AI generalize between languages. https://t.co/TLVdC0qgPo

Just finished reading this handy little book by @francoisfleuret. A good intro/refresher on the theory behind Deep Learning.
