Google Research, in collaboration with HHMI Janelia, has published a complete map of the male fruit fly brain and central nervous system. This map, detailing over 166,000 neurons and 125 million synaptic connections, is the largest brain map to date and was created using AI to reconstruct electron microscope images. The research aims to advance connectomics and understand fundamental brain mechanics across species, complementing previous work on female fruit fly brains. AI
IMPACT Advances understanding of fundamental brain mechanics and neural pathways using AI-driven reconstruction techniques.
