Reconstruction differences significantly impact AI models trained on fly connectomes

A new study published on arXiv explores the impact of reconstruction differences on neural network models built from fly connectomes. Researchers found that variations in synapse detection and proofreading within a single fly's connectome could alter a trained circuit model more significantly than differences between individual flies. Models trained on one reconstruction did not transfer well to others, even variants of the same fly, highlighting the need for connectome-constrained models to report their reconstruction source and be tested for robustness across different versions.

    Reconstruction differences rival individual differences in the fly compass connectome and break trained circuit models

    Neural network models are increasingly constructed from synapse-resolution connectomes, and the same circuit is now available in reconstructions from other animals and pipelines. We do not know whether such models are dependent on the reconstruction they are built from, and wheth…
